Looks like it is smirking to me JimboB.
They always look like they know something important.
Like the Bokeh.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I had to chuckle at Tick's comment - they do look like they know something we don't - excellent shot Jim.

A valiant effort at smiling and super closeup, Jim.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

For even a better 'smile' you would say to it: "Say cheese." (lol)

Good 'portrait' Jimbob.

This is such a good close up of the beautiful, or handsome swan. I never did make it back to Magee Marsh,(I was there some years ago) maybe one day. :)

Wonderful close up JimBob. I believe this guy feels he is more intelligent than we humans - very smug expression.

Jimbob - The details you captured are wonderful. These birds, with their white feathering, often blow out in photos - but, you nailed the lighting. Thad
