p.1 #1 · Mute Swans

I'm lucky enough to have a pair of Mute Swans living on some small lakes around a mile from my home. Here are few from an outing to see them last weekend.

C&C very welcome.

No.1 I think this one was a little curious about me:

No.2 They spend a lot of time preening:

No.3 A classic profile shot:

No.4 Another preening shot:

No.5 A final close up:

Thanks for looking,

Paul, those shots are sharp, well exposed, nicely posed and with appealing background. Essentially sufficient DoF too. It's all there.

Very good job on these, Paul. The white looks right on

Beautiful detail in #3 and very nice pose in #2.
Enjoyed the set

Tony your words just go to show that images can bring quite different things to the mind of the viewer than those intended by the photographer!
