Mute Swan + repost
I've had a bit of fun photographing these lately. I know they are as common as muck but I still think they are magnificent birds. I often stop and wonder how much more attention would be paid to them if they were rare.
This one was drying off after a good bath.

I can never resist the shot when they do this-Good exposure and the added droplets add very nicely to the feel of this powerful bird

I agree that something does not have to be rare to be beautiful.
Nice shot with good exposure and re-post without the 'thing' is better imo.
