[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor).
This huge swan is 125-155 cm long with a 200-240 cm wingspan. They stand over 1.2 m (four feet) tall. Males are larger than females. This is one of the heaviest flying birds, with males weighing more than 12kg (27 lb), and females more than 11 kg (25 lb).
Their age can reach 20 years.

Its size, orange-reddish bill and white plumage make this swan almost unmistakable. The most similar species is Whooper Swan, but that has a yellow and black bill, and lacks the curved "swan" neck and is longer and heavier. Source: wikipedia

Hi Thomas

What a nice shot. Excellent composition.
I prefer this photo at the horizontal rather than vertical.

Thanks for sharing Thomas

Hello Thomas!
Wonderful capture.Well seen and composed.POV,lighting and reflection are perfect.I think visual impact would be better if you rotated the image 90 degrees CCW;)
TFS...:-)

Hi Thomas

Short on time again today, but enough time to look at this lovely shot. Interesting angle. Good depth of colour. Thanks.
