another photo of a classic subject

Beautiful picture of a swan. The sharpness on his feathers. I think his beautiful head and neck could have been sharper, and his back full of feathers is bright enough to be thrown slightly out of focus for his neck, head, and facial expression as in a portrait...but of this bird. Beautiful all the same. Patience is a virtue, especially here where as you know this swim and move so fast across the water, so focusing and capturing such expression, comes down to fractions of a second, well done. Good shot. clive.
