Judge's comment:Nicely composed photograph. At the first glance, I thought a dog's face was sticking out of water. If the author waited a mement longer, the swan might have turned a little to show its full figure. The author explained to me the symbolic meaning of koi fish and the swan. Even without the explanation, the idea can be appreciated in this haiga.
