Thanks Sharon (and everybody) - I wasn't that close actually :o)

Great swan shot! How soon after you took this picture did he attack you? I know that look! We were narrowboating in England a few years ago and a swan with this same look tried to peck our steel-hulled boat to death. I just hope he didn't hurt his beak too badly. They are very territorial! Anyway, your bravery has won you a very nice shot! Good work! ~Sharon

Elegant bird, even at the not so classic pose. The water with patterns and light patterns are interesting. Twigs give the impression of cracks in wood... /Oved

I like the sunlight on the dark water. Oh and I like the swan. PeteH
