Description
I have captured this swan at the Johannesburg Zoo. He was very eager to have his picture taken (or just wanted to be fed) and swam right up to me. I was wedged between a tree and a wooden bridge but manage to shoot off a couple of images without him pecking at my nose!!!! I love the cloud reflection in the pond!
I didn't go to work today! Managed to pick up a monster of a cold sore on my lip and it has me in agony! Yikes - I hate them... At least I had a good rest and will see how the fat lip looks tomorrow!!!
Take care!
Hugs, Carin xx

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous capture! very well done.
AWWW! that is way too cool. It really looks like floating on clouds. A wonderful shot and I love swans.
Wow! Awesoem capture! I love it!! :)
At first I thought this was just another ho hum shot, but then the reflections and the composition of the entirety came together for me. This is an example of a very talented photographer. Thanks for shaaring.
What a shot. Very special indeed. You've got the eye.
Very interesting perspective and amazing detail.
Good luck with your bad owie! and OMG what a beautiful capture! specially love the reflections too :-)
Beautiful shot Carin, and I see you have a previous thumb :)...Bit I have some catup to do tonight :(
excellent capture my friend I wonder if she knows any of my swans :)
Lovely and great POV Bravo Carin
fantastic colors and details
Awesome shot, Carin! Great composition!
Amazing POV, superb!!
This image really has some visual punch. If that makes any sense. Anyway, great work!
I LOVE THE PERSPECTIVE. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
wonderful image! well seen
Ooooh, Carin, this is one of the best swan capture seen here recently !
A crisp and clear portrait of this beauty. :) Love the reflections!
There is such an amazing placid feel to this. Outstanding. Those cold sores are nasty and remember they can be contagious if they open up. One can turn into two, so be very careful. Take good care of yourself.
Love the POV. Outstanding image!
WONDERFUL CAPTURE & REFLECTIONS TOO :)
awww! this is PERFECT!!!
A beautiful image, Carin, and what a wonderful pov and reflection... the perfect, title, too!
Very stunning photography, Carin! I do hope that the sore disappears quickly!
love the cloud reflections and the glint in the eye.. hope your lip gets better soon!
OMG, the swan version of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! Incredible! Ironically, the stern end of this magnificent creature somewhat resembles the cloud reflections in the pond. This is a gloreous shot, Carin...the bird does appear to be floating in air, and the tucked-in wings remind one of the wings of an angel. And, in re your agonizing cold sore, I recently had a stinging half-inch-long canker sore in my mouth that took six weeks to heal.
I like this very much...it does all kinds of twisty things to my perception, and that's a cool thing! Beautiful clarity, and those reflections are to die for!
Stunning capture!!!!!!!!!! I love this shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
