Oh, I love the drop hanging at the tip of the beak. really like this shot. It is a nice one to look at, especially that “he” is looking back as well… :) your light is beautiful too… Keep up the good work… :) I am getting to like your shots more every time… :)
Thank you Percy. This Mute Swan is one of naturs great works of art. I like the way the light is on the swan.Color is hard to get when they are white.But you did a good job.
