That's such a clean shot.. what kind of camera/lense were you using? Once again, you have amazing work and it shows not just in your scenery shots but in every category :) Thanks for sharing this with us Michael.

Michael, this is my absolute favorite bird. Ever since I was a little girl I was amazed by swans. I was always trying to draw them too, but to no avail, lol. Anyhow, tks for posting this one!

The single feather does it for me as well. What a wonderful capture! One to model a soft stuffed animal after. ;) Would make a dreamy pillow for a child and makes a wonderful desktop for me. favs
