Mute Swan Play

This swan was playing with the water at a local park. I took several images, but this one fully captured the dynamism and artistry of the bird. Nikon D7000,300mm f4 with 1.4 teleconverter.

Beautiful action and pose in the Swan and a great job stopping the water droplets, William.

Excellent image.

This is a really dynamic image. The pose, the curled, blurred feathers and the splash are a pretty great combo. I'd actually be tempted to crop tighter from the top and right to focus more on the shape of the bird and the water droplets.
