We have 2 swans in the pond across the street. I like "shooting" them! Here I used my 70-300mm & Nikon D700.

One of the most beautiful and graceful creatures in nature. And one of the nastiest. It's like satan ducks attack when those things get mad.

Awesome shot btw.

Thanks Glacies. I got nice sharpness on that face. Helps to have VR on the lens.

Nice photo! It has an almost inquisitive expression on it's face.

Very good shot, Robert. Looks like it's turning it's head to listen to you. Are you the Swan Whisperer?

Yeah, I talk to swans. "GET out of the &%^$ way!" I tell them... :)

Here is another one I took this morning. The silly creatures were walking on the road..

Fantastic shot, Robert. Love the clarity and soft bokeh background.
