So graceful

I just don't know where that white feather comes from.

[Steve Chappell]

[Elizabeth]

Lovely curve of the neck!

[Rob Z]

What a great close-up. :)

[Babs]

He is a beauty. The feather probably stuck to his beak while he was preening himself. Black swans have black and white wings.

[Wylie]

[aikiuser (jenn)]

How lovely! I don't believe we have those around here, they're quite striking. Great image, love the lighting

[Dione Giorgio]

Gorgeous capture. I like black swans. This looks like it is a dragon blowing fire smoke from its nostrils. because of the feather.

[Susan Wakely]

How irritating to have a feather stuck in your eyeline. Great shot.

[Les Coleman]

The sharpness, focus, detail and wonderful colour contrast work well to depict a hypnotizing and intimate portrait.

@rickster549 @stimuloog @momamo @johnfalconer @ninaganci @dora Thanks so much, I really appreciate you stopping by :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Lovely portrait- maybe the feathers under the dark ones are white and this little one stuck on his beak is a result of preening. It makes for an interesting shot!
