You captured the swan very nicely; great portrait! Also, you're a brave man to dare let a swan eat out of your hand...:P

Nice portrait of this swan. We have one here with a nest about 200m from our home. The male does not want anyone or anything (including ducks, excapt for one!) around his pool. Since it is in the city he sometimes is a nuisance.

Nicely framed, and great colours. The light and shallow DOF has really brought it to life and gives it a real three-dimensional look.
