27th July 2014 - Swan dance

This is for the B&W fortnight - Light and shadow. Not sure if this qualifies or not.

The swan was minding its own business until Finlay went to the river bank and he then stood up and started to flap his very large wings and to hiss at us!! Finlay took a step backwards!!

Many thanks for all your wonderful comments and Favs on yesterday's shots - so very much appreciated!!

I have just seen my shot "Inside the flower" now has 45 Favs!! Woweeee!! The most Favs I have ever got. That may not mean much to those of you who consistently get over 50 Favs but to me it's FANTASTIC!! You are wonderful my 365 friends!!

Finlay is the photographer's helper. Super shot. Very dramatic with the light and shadows on the water.

Love the way you've captured the water, and the body language of that swan.
