Very nice portrait, well done.

Black swans are native to Australia, and are Western Australia's state bird. They are very territorial - during the breeding season, they'll hiss at you if you get too close.

Very nice indeed Gert. I love the integrate detail captured here and the strong isolation through DOF.

Very well balanced shot with contrasted background, definition an textures. I like the composition, you placed the subject perfect in the frame. Very well done.

Gran primer plano... el detalle de las gotas de agua sobre el plumaje es fantastico.
Hermosos colores, buena perspectiva y DOF.

Voici un beau portrait de ce jolie cygne noir, belles couleurs et bonne netteté ! Cela me rappelle celui que j'avais photographié de plus loin mais en liberté...
Well done !

Beautifully captured. Blacks and whites are useually difficult to capture, but they don't seem to be a problem to you. I love the droplets on the feathers.
