up close/52 week challenge

This beautiful black swan was anything but shy. I interpreted his 'grunting' as welcoming (seeing as he wasn't pecking me).

[Bec]

Ha ha! A very brave interpretation. Great close up and use of focus.

[Kathy A]

Wonderful portrait

[Diana]

Beautiful close up, love the drop on the beak.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Very cool. I like the out of focus swan at the back too.

[Maggiemae]

Maybe he thought of you as a friend - not always so, with swans... that peck can be wicked!

[Babs]

He is gorgeous, love the detail on his eye. They can get quite vocal can't they. fav
