Well, actually a Trumpeter Swan that arrived at its favorite pond a little too early in the year!
Sony a6500, SEL100400GM @ 400 mm, ISO-250, f/6.3, 1/4000, hand held.
Fits the theme very well. Nice head turn and love the raised “snowshoe”. I know many prefer room at the top of images, but perhaps cropping down to eliminate the dark area?
Gary, the raised foot is an excellent “extra”, that brings a grin. I also like the tracks leading in and the long shadow.
Well composed W on W image. The raised snowshoe is a nice touch.
