The curve

I spent some considerable time waiting for this swan to take the position that I had decided would be best but it was busy grooming and had no notion of posing for the camera.

In the end, I was happy to settle for this alternative - as I do love the shape of the curve in the long neck against that dark background.

It's all about that curve...and your patience for waiting to get this shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is an excellent shot! I don't know what you had in mind, but one rarely sees a crooked neck like this one- so it makes this picture very unique.
