The symbol of the City of Lakeland, Florida is the swan. At Lake Morton there are four species of swans imported from around the world. This Australian Black Swan is one of them. The swans are captive. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

I like this a lot, it is a really interesting shot. I would like to see a closer/tighter crop, one that brings us in a bit closer on the eye and leaves the exact pose/position of the subject to the imagination.
I think the feather texture is really strong.
