It's not often I get an opportunity for such a close-up capture of a Trumpeter Swan but this one just kept swimming toward the dock and parked herself in front of me. It was a magical moment. This pair nests on the lake so hopefully there will be more photo opportunities to come.

Both shots are simply gorgeous Heather. I am glad that you had this opportunity to photograph the couple. Looking forward to seeing more shots of the pair.

What a great shot and as Yves says the lighting is spot on. Great composition also

Very nice close-up of that iconic bird. The lighting is just perfect on her and the spot on focus makes the colored head very stricking. Well done.Heather.
