I saw two swans today... usually birds leave as soon as I arrive, but these two came straight for me, and I was hoping they weren't going to gum me to death or something... they were after food, but I didn't have any... I apologised to them and they consented to stay long enough for me to take lots of pictures of them....

Great photo Mary. The swan looks like it's looking out the side of its eye to make sure you don't have food. The water is such a deep blue. Very nice.

Lovely shot and the way you've caught the shadow, you've practically eliminated that annoying brown color that they usually have on their neck.

Nicely presented as well.

How fortunate you were to be able to be "allowed" to take the photos of these beauties!! Not only are they beautiful, but you brought out their beauty by your wonderful photo here! Thank you so much, my friend..I love this. Verena

I think swans are the most beautiful and graceful of birds! I really love the dark background - makes this one stand out so well!
