Very pretty, sharp and the colour of the beak breaks the colour of the swan, i hope i can get a shot like that some day.....nice one.

Yours are excellent! Where did you take them and with what equipment?

Thanks,
These shots are from this Friday afternoon, Clingendael Park, The Hague, The Netherlands, Canon Powershot G6, SkyLight-B filter.
There are two swan families there (with 6 and 7 swan babies) and it is a great pleasure to give them some bread and to stay with them while they are making their dressing and then sleeping. Some of the pictures are from less than 1m - we are friends.

Greetings,
