Sad Swan
1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/320s, f6.3, iso 400. Fill flash -2.33.

Again, storm clouds, light rain and a setting sun produced dramatic lighting for this one. Comments and critique are always appreciated.

Another very fine image Ian, the DOF is spot on, the image has a very real serene quality to it, very nicely done.

You just need to find someone selling Hans Christian Anderson's 'Ugly Duckling'.
