Young swan at T.H. cemetery
Last year both swans at the Terrace Heights Cemetery (Yakima) died. Why? No one is sure; at least I can't find anyone who knows. They were replaced by two young ones. They already have learned how to pose. (People feed them- including some photographers.) This photo is cropped and oversharpened a bit.

How lovely to have there at the cemetery. I hope they don't suffer the same fate as the ones before them, whatever it was.

The reflections on the water are very nice. Some of the feathers look blown, but it's minor. Swans can be such elegant subjects. It would be fun to catch them down the road in fresh adult plumage.

Jim, this absolutely has a French Renaissance feel to it. Congrats on a very nice capture.

Jim, well done the reflections are amazing. I would back down on the sharpening. Good Job!!.
