How wonderful Patti. He has beautiful feathers and that surprisingly red beak contrasts strikingly with his colour. Captured so well. :)

He's got the orange beek so nobody runs into him at night! lol Cool looking swan! I've never seen black ones before. If you had a white one with it you could have had your own "Piano Keys" shot and showed me up! lol Nicely done Ms. Fogz ma'am! C):-)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

Good trick photography...a reverse image (negative). I'm not so stupid...I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. Nice try and nice pic.

I wonder if Black Swan Gumbo is as good as White Swan Gumbo? What? Oh, all right. Thorry! What a beautiful creature. It looks sooo gooood! No, no, I mean in the image. (Sheesh, she's touchy.) Sure don't see very many of these. Excellent!

Lovely shot. The pub The White Swan would be known in this neck of the woods as 'The Mucky Duck'. The Black Swan would be known as the 'Hacky Duck'.

Patti, that's a pretty rare image as we don't see black swans that much. Beautiful, and perfectly captured, image. Regards, Cornelius
