    Default A young Swan

    I found this young one on a lonely strip of river bank all by itself. I noticed two large Eagles in a tree above the swan so I chased him into the river but he just kept coming back onto the shore. In the end I left the swan alone with its fate but everytime I look at this shot, I wonder about the final outcome.

    Nothing to worry about my friend, another beauty

    I normally don't suggest these things to others, but when I looked at this I thought it might look good if it were extra grainy. Just a thought, it looks like it would fit the mood.

    Beautiful shot. The baby probably got separated from the flock because it was too weak or too sick. It's survival of the fittest in the bird world, sadly.
