Nice shot I like the way you captured the Swan with its wings extended some.

Gorgeous! I love the centered composition and the textures of the feathers and the water. Also like the reflection. Very clean and simple...just beautiful. Great job, keep up the good work!

Beautiful Simon! I have never seen this pose before. A first for me! There is something rather regal about this swan. The color and composition are right on...you do capture these birds very well. Right into my fav's on my harddrive. Thanks :~)

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I think the pose signifies aggression, but it certainly looks majestic when they do this :-)

The only people on the planet who can eat swan are the royal family.

Fantastic shot with detail to match. Full marks.

The touch of Milton fits beautifully. Good shot, it is a warning but what a lovely pose

without a sense of humor, I'd have no sense at all.
