Mute Swan

Thanks for the comments on my last image. Here is another taken on the same evening, but by now the sun had gone in, although I was still able to achieve the black water effect as the trees behind were in complete shadow.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400mm at 330mm
Handheld
F5.6
1/320s
ISO 500

Almost full frame

A quiet moment , nicely placed in the frame. I like it and I think swans can often look good against this dark background.
Keep going with the exams; 22nd not far away!

Another very good image, using that great black BG, this works so well with the white swan. Nice one, Oscar.
