    Another from my time spent with a very trusting Australian Black Swan at Lake Morton, Lakeland, Florida. Lake Morton has four species of captive swans, the Australian Black Swan is one of them. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Hi Joe, excellent exposure on the dark plumage on this fellow, and I like the pose with the curved neck. The red bill stands out nicely against the black plumage, and the irritating feather adds a little more. Comp wise, I can see some off the bottom without harming the image.

    Good pose and fun feather but I think this image would be stronger if you cropped from the right and put the eye square in the upper right hand "intersection."
