Took a drive around yesterday, and spotted this lone swan just gliding along in the invasive duck weed.

I used the Canon 40D with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens, edited in LR.

Thanks for commenting, I do appreciate it.

Good shootin' with the 40D, Sandi. I love the detail in the swan, and the reflections. The duck weed looks very nice floating on the water. Beautiful background, too. Very nicely done.

The mossy green layer of algae on top of the water makes this swan pop, Sandi. Nice camera work!

You captured the swan superbly Sandi and it seems to be happy in the duckweed soap and I love all the green in this capture .The light and slight reflection of the swan is very nice too.

Wonderful mellow light in this Sandi and I see you caught him with his foot out of the water too!

Very pretty green color accentuating that beautiful swan Sandi. Such a nice bonus to catch the swan's reflection in the water.
