Thanks so much! As with all "captures" of birds and animals, luck has a lot to do with any good shot.

I know what you mean but I think it's a whole talent to have this "luck"; to be at the right place at the right time. It's a bit like Poker: luck is involved but it is never enough to be simply lucky. Don't be so modest! You ARE talented! But I'm sure you know it 
Congratulations again on that magnificent swan.

A flawless and elegant composition, Gerald R. For your swan...there is always tomorrow.
You know...with that reflection, if you turn it 90 degrees to the left - it almost looks like a Rorschach Inkblot Test!

Yes, tomorrow promises to be his best day...ever! (And yes, I also thought of Rorschach when I looked at the reflections of the wings. Shall we ask people to say what it reminds them of?
