A pair of Swans on Barbee Lake today.

canon ef70-300mm IS USM lens, Shutter speed 1/125 and cropped alot to get rid of piers. I just wanted to show them and their true grace.

Thank you for your comments and have a good Thursday.

Another gorgeous capture Sandi. Have to agree with Sandi, love the poses. Do you know the reason why their heads & neck are brownish

Whew! Get that bird some bird deodorant or get him to put those wings down. An excellent capture of the well posed birds Sandi. Good colour and clarity. Great job, Faved

Good capture Tigz. That is a nice pose the one is striking for you. I think I would have cropped just a little more on the bottom. The reflection would have looked better ending at the edge of the photo than the rock or whatever it is. Just my opinion. It is a very clear photo. Your lens is really working good.

A wonderful capture of 2 beautiful birds. You have captured them perfectly. I think I need to bleed your mind for information on how you got the image so perfect and still with the wings moving. Great stop action.
