(Actually, I'm not sure that a jealous male chases his rival across the stage during the pas-de-deux in the ballet, but that's artisitic licence for you.) Technically, it's not the best picture I've posted here, but some shots you only get one chance at. Number three in a series of holiday snaps, this was on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal :-)

This is a GREAT shot, especially in terms of timing while still getting composition. I've been attacked by a few swans that, at the time, I thought were so gracefully going to float by me. So, I like this shot because it shows how much aggression and movement they can exhibit, when needed. NICE.

I might not be technically perfect but you got some great avian action here Simon, I’m pleased I saw it. I think the title is appropriate too.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross
