Beautiful bird! Nice colors and luminosity... this is a quiet place... Good job!

I really like this picture. I know the subject isn't to be in the center of the photo, but I like it there in this photo. I love how the green and yellow shadows form a misty oval frame around the swan. that is a swan isn't it?

Hope you enjoyed your short 'break'....This is a good shot of the swan , it is either looking at it's reflection....or something to eat!....the colours are very soothing to the eye!......Bob

Oh, Bernie, Im so glad that u decided to post this wonderful image, its great, and very inspirational, not for nothing I picked it to create your postcard,: "Bernd's Postcard "r emember?, Its so nice and magical, come back soon, my friend, Miss u already :)

This is such a lovely picture! I really like the way the water looks, almost like silver and the swan is so elegant, standing in the middle! Very nice work, so glad you posted this for us, it' ll keep me company on my desktop till u get back!

Lovely shot, Bernd...it does seem as if he's posing for you...interesting pool of water around his feet and those golden trees in the back reflecting in the water are beautiful...the scene has a very peaceful feeling, unlike our very noisy Canada geese, lol...very nicely done.:Pat.

Me, being a complete bird-loving nerd.... give this is definitely a 10/10!!!!!!! He seems lonely. With all those "perches" in the water, hopefully he will soon have company...

Ha, ha, ha it looks familiar... the swan looked great in blue, but it also looks very nice in colour. The golden bushes make the capture so warm. Breaking the rules seems to work very well in this case.

Beautiful swan photo here. We have a few of these in our lakes in the NW also....always found them to be so elegant and graceful. Good clarity, exposure and overall essence has a quiet feel to it...really a good capture!

Absolutely beautiful!!!
