You got pretty close, Ami. Don't forget that even swans can be dangerous. If this is a male one and his wife has a nest in the vicinity, you have to be extremely careful as he's protecting his wife with his very strong wings. You wouldn't be the first who got a broken arm by a swan.
Thanks for this wonderful image anyhow.
Regards, Cornelius.

That's a great position to capture the swan in, Ami. Very very nice work.

I don't see a phone so it must be a male Ami. What a great shot.
I can tell you were enjoying the taking of these shots. It comes through in the photo.

It's lipsticks a bit overdone..It's a Hooker swan..Or should that be Hooper..Whatever..Nice one..R.

He's beautiful Ami, super capture and colours with wonderful detail

She is beautiful. I dont know how to tell but I prefer to think this is a female.

Oh, what a great pose you got here Ami! So beautiful and very close up! But like Cornelius said, they can be very mean so be careful!

A beauty of a shot. Like the angle and pose you captured this swan in.

Excellent capture Ami, I love the pose, and I have no idea how to tell male from female, but they can very aggressive. Faved.

Another beauty! Love swan pics, they are just so elegant and beautiful. You captured this one wonderfully!
