I can see you!Critters
A really quick post today. When in doubt get the swan shots out. Not so much in doubt but more pushed for time. So a little monochrome of this sweet coy swan who just wouldn't lift his/her head for me to photograph the beautiful line of the neck in the soft half light. Still those lovely white feathers really jump out against the dark water which was the aim of the image anyway. Gotta love swans to photograph. Elegant, slow, graceful and beautiful. Word of warning though don't make one angry. Not so beautiful, elegant, slow or at all graceful when they are hissing or spitting at you. That scenario doesn't quite fit the delicate, serene image above does it? For more serene swans not having a hissy fit click colours below.
Wing tips!

I hope you like the little joke image one in there too. Gotta run.

Monochrome birds seem fashionable just now ;)
I'm glad the swan was being shy - it's way more interesting and the neck still has a lovely curve to it.
great b&w. captures the grace well.
It's a great shot in black and white !
A beauty !
lovely pose sandy
Striking photo! WOW! Super.
Great pose and great capture!
What a nice effect!
I played too :)
Yeah, swans can be quite scary. Even vicious!
Great b&w photo.
Hmm, your post sounds as though you've found yourself in the unfortunate postition of making a swan angry at least once. LOL Yes, it's almost a Jekyll and Hyde switch in personality isn't it? Lovely photo!
B&W is perfect for this shot. It's quite lovely.
Lovely B&W. Is Miss Swan camera shy, or concealing herself from the wildlife paparazzi?
This is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your swan.
Great B & W shot! It's Beautiful.
Nice shot, such strong and lovely birds.
I love this picture! Light and shadows and the elegant form of the swan.
Simply beautiful!
Graceful words & images of a gracful creature. Aloha
Graceful.
Beautiful at any time but great contrast in mono. Great shot.
Babooshaka: Nicely done with the B&W on the swan, it fits right into this coloring sceme.
Oh that is a beautiful picture. I love B&W.
All those swan photos are AMAZING. I love the wing tips especially.
Gorgeous photography.
All the swans are beautiful but Wing tips is a stunning photograph. The light is perfect here.
Nice to see you back on FB.
So so so SO graceful!
Lovely!
Love the graceful lines. Don't see swans around here. Great capture.
It's good to see a swan in a non-traditional pose and still manage to look so elegant! Great contrasts in monochrome!
I've never tried black and white. Guess some images just suit it. Love the dark light and the line of the animal.
A very soft swanphoto indeed. It has something very dreamy about it *yawn*
I definitely need another coffee!
Beautiful, i love Swans. They are quite scary when annoyed though..lol
Great b&w.
So elegant.
I love swans !!!
Very nice photo .. I really like the monochrome treatment..
Hey some of that swan spit spattered my screen!
Lovely shot, and yes, I've been spat at before, as has a former dog of mine!
Elegant and graceful says it all.
Swans aren't known for sweet personalities. But they are sure are beautiful birds!
Excellent curves, light, and tones, B!
Perfect
Truly a lovely photograph.This is a picture to be proud of! Nice, very nice!
What a stunning photo! Some shots are just meant to be done in black and white. :)
I agree with Gretchen.
You can drag these gorgeous swans out anytime you want to. Just a lovely capture here.
