Very nice picture. I think the colour of the water make a nice contrast with the colour of the swan.

Rates highly on the 'cute index' :smile: Interesting bokeh from that 500 works well on this shot.

Hi Alan,

Lovely :toast: , the colour of the water is superb , the OOF water in the BG and foreground look like they've been shot at a long exposure , the effect is very pleasing.

A real cutie! Especially like the colour of the water and how it complements the bird

Aaaah! really neat shot, Lots to like in it, but I especially like the water droplet and the foreground. Personally I always thought that the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan was arse upwards. More like fluffy attractive poppet turns into argumentative, aggressive so and so.
