2017-11-28 to keep one's distance, or not

Well this is highly overprocessed, but I did not succed to abstract from bad composition and the absence of negative space. Normally I'm too far away from wildlife, but this lady mute swan decided to come and see what I'm doing. She was in good mood, so I just sat there and let her make her observations on me, and she started pruning herself. Suddenly she made this pose to shake her feathers. It was no treatening behavior as we all know of mute swans. But of course I was not ready (also a bit startled) to snap away. Manual mode, manual focus,... but I embraced the moment we had together, so this is my picture for today.
Gorgeous. Why do you say it is overprocessed?

It is a beautiful focus on her head (even a drop of water from her beak!) and we get to see the wonderful underside of her wing. Amazing capture, really!
