I posted a colour image of this bird a few days ago and this was taken at the same time. I actually like the 'headless' pose on this shot but didn't think the image worked as a whole in colour so decided to try a B/W job.
1/500 @ f8 iso 400
500mm
ps; I know it's central but then the only direction the bird is looking is back

I like the B+W conversion and I think the detail is superb here Robert but I think I would have preferred to have some of the head but that is just my opinion . There is a little white patch just above the tail that seems not to belong to the bird and that could perhaps be cloned out if so desired. Proceesing is spot on as always.

You are going to make me play with swans now, you know that don't you. Fine B&W subject I would have liked to have seen a head but its personal. Lovely as presented
