Description
This was taken at the Sunriver (Oregon) Nature Center where there is a breeding pair of swans that are totally habituated to people. I was probably six feet away. The offspring from the pair are relocated to wetland areas in southern Oregon in an attempt to re-establish what was once a large native population in the state.
Specific Feedback
Any thoughts appreciated.
Technical Details
Canon R5; 100-500 with 1.4 Tx at 420 mm; 1/1000 at f8; ISO 1000.

He/She does close-ups well, Allen. I like the focus on the eye and the shallow depth of field works fine in this case. Well done.

This is SO COOL!! Wonderful framing, great BG and lovely whites!
I would be worried about being attacked.

Thanks @Dennis_Plank and @Diane_Miller. We were both on the path around the lake and I think they are totally used to humans and not afraid. They basically just ignore us.
Nice detail in eye, feathers, and water droplets. Good contrasting background. All make for a pleasing and engaging action shot.

Hi Allen, nice sharpness on the eye and good feather detail where it matters. Intriguing expression and pleasing background. Well done.

Nicely composed, Allen. The colors - both blacks and whites - look good and the DOF works well with a clean background. Cool to see the details on the tongue.
