Swan Song

f9, 1/640, ISO 5000

Almost all of the migrants are gone; only waterfowl and cranes still hanging around. Including this Tundra Swan, who paused in his evening foraging long enough to give me a suspicious look.

Cropped to vertical. Selective sharpening.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Nice image Jim, I like the salad hanging down, a catchlight would have improved this but it looks like dreary overcast light. :toast:
