I like this one, Markus! It goes beyond the "usual" "swan looking regal as it glides around the pond" shot. The shape of the neck as it preens itself is quite attractive, and I like the patterns in the feathers. Nice detail and sharpness. Well done. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
