A trumpeter swan with new bright white feathers, doing pre-flight exercises and probably showing off a bit enlightened

I got a lot of shots of this swan and it's mate but this is my favorite of the bunch.

Good detail on the whites. The top inside of the right wing is pretty close to hot; it could stand a little less brightness. Nice action and good techs, Gary. Was this Robe Lake? cool

Love the pose and good detail in the whites -would like to see a catch light -- there seems to be some light in the eye and if it were mine -- I would enchance that light

Great pose and excellent detail throughout, Gary. The whites and blacks are both showing plenty of detail. Nice job.
