I normally don't shoot images of swans, but I found this swan very photogenic against the dark water and BG, and the droplets of water dripping from its beak just made me press the shutter.

Thanks for stopping by!

Like you Stan I rarely take pics of Swans, but this one works well, presentation is spot on too.

Best Matt

White swan, dark water and clever timing on the water drops all add to make this a lovely shot Stan. Very nice indeed.

I like this shot, you are right - the pale swan against the dark background is beautiful. Being greedy, I would have liked the whole reflection. But that is a minor niggle and I still like this image a lot! Smile

What did you do to the color?? Ohhhh...wait.... is this a glow-in-the-dark swan? LOL I can't help but expect something vivid and retna burning when I see your work. Perhaps it's time to take the UV shield off my computer. LOL

Lovely work, again, Stan!

No matter how many swan shots I see on here I never get tired of them and this is no exception. You've captured its grace perfectly.
