From above 2

Photo Information

This is another attempt at photographing a Swan from above (first attemptlink)

It was taken from the arched bridge that crosses Carr Mill Dam in St Helens, I had to wait until the bird was more or less directly below as I leaned over the side with a firm grip on the K5!.
