I photographed this flapping Mute Swan on the JBWR/Nickerson Beach IPT in fairly early morning light. I took several long series of these guys flapping after baths. (I have a thing against large introduced species that beat up the regularly occurring nesters but as Denise says, blame the folks who brought them here not the birds :)
Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-1D MIV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1/2000 sec. at f/6.3.
My favorite part of the image is the elegant pose.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
