Everything worked out recently and the decision was made to grab a camera one more time.
Most of my swan photography has been done with the endangered Trumpeter Swans or migrating Tundra Swans. Still you cannot deny the grace and beauty of the introduced giant Mute Swan. They are living, breathing art.
I love working with white birds as they allow you to work in the dramatic world of light and shadow. They retain some detail even in the shadowy areas.
