Don't Ruffle my Feathers

I just love these ruffles on the black swan, like a dancer's dress on the lake...

Swans are such elegant birds! Nice black and white.

Such a gorgeous clear image! Beautiful, yes like a dancer.

[Sabine]

I love this in B&W ! You'd almost think you're looking a the negative of the photo because of the swan being black instead of the more commonly seen white :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

Love the vignette, the B and W conversion and great clarity too!

I love the way they do this, too. You've caught it perfectly and love the processing. Fav. for me.

[william wooderson]

I know swans can be quite aggressive if you try to ruffle them...

[Danielle Greenwood]

@will_wooderson yes they make some interesting noises too! but this one was very inquisitive and came right up to me, until my dog came along, then he got annoyed...

[Calliope]

I want to see one for real!

[Jolly]

Beautiful! Does look like a ballet dancer.

[Kathy Evans]

[Dana]

Great for black and white and I love the ruffles too.

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

I think this is spectacular! This swan is beautiful. I've never seen a black swan before, let alone feathers that resemble ruffles. It's perfect in b/w as well. A favorite of mine, for sure!

[Danielle Greenwood]

@eyesofbetsie We have lots of them where I live, I thought they were common. I'm livin in a bubble aren't I! Lol.

[Jackie Björnert]
