Wetland gem calls and flits about the pond. Scarcely yards away a Trumpeter Swan sits patiently on its nest. We must save these treasure troves of the environment. Near Emigrant, Montana (USA).

Beautiful shot!
Oh Ken , this is a jewel. Wonderful shot and great depth of field. The contrast of the bird to the environment is inviting to the viewer.
Thanks, Gisela – had a great time pursuing just the right pose.

Beautiful image Ken! Great pose and Great DOF! I agree… we need to save lots of animals.
It is a beautiful image Ken! Wonderful selective shallow DOF and the colours are soft and very pretty! Perfect composure using the rule of thirds, it is a lovely photograph!
