Really nice shot inspite of the Swan’s lack of cooperation!

I dare say I think this a more interesting and beautiful shot than the one you may have been waiting for. I would be proud to claim it as mine. The plumage detail is superb.

I’ve rarely met any swan that was anything other than uncooperative... it’s their natural state. If you think swans are uncooperative to humans... you should see how they behave around Canada geese... 👹
