Elegance

Elegance indeed and an order magnitude better than your average swan shot. The chosen crop works really well and the inclusion of the floating feather ahead of the subject really adds to the sense that this is a juvenile swan in the process of developing its adult plumage.

Would love to see an enlargement in order to better appreciate the feather detail

Thanks for your comments most helpful. I'm sorry I don't have the original file to post for you. As this shot was taken some time ago.
