Looks like that swan is pretty wild at the moment! All ruffled up like that! I guess when he wants something he gets it eh?!! He looks huge to me too! I always think of swans as gentle and beautiful. So this is way different! I like the way you got the movement of those wings tho.Wow.
He's gotta be a bit nutty chasing a female like that. Doesn't he know it's not the way to get her?! Hah! ---Verena

Q: Why did the blonde get so excited after she finished her jigsaw puzzle in only 6 months? A: Because on the box it said From 2-4 years. Q: How do you confuse a blonde? A: Ask her to alphabetize a bag of M&Ms. Q: Why are dumb blonde jokes so short? A: So brunettes can remember them.

What did you do to get him all ruffled up? Looks like he's the big man on the block. A great shot!

What mode did you have the camera set, Count B? It is so clear you can see the band on its leg. They need to use a different shampoo to whiten their heads.
I think you have a good camera.

An amazing capture, Richie. You've got all the plumage details and the rippling reflections down pat.
