A very nice shot of this unusual behavior. This is the second time you have shown it and it is something I have never seen before. A nicely composed shot with good colors and great story telling.

OH, now that is so funny. I had to look several times to take it all in and realize what I was seeing. I thought it was an alligator going out into the water. Then I saw the face of the black swan. Holy cow!! How big was he? Your image is funny and well executed. Good luck and thank you for the morning chuckle.

This is certainly an interesting shot. I like the unusual nature of it. I am sure that you are aware of the range of problems with this image. The foreground is very distracting, the top half underexposed and it is difficult to discern what is going on here.

Thank you so much for sharing.

this is a fun image to look at, like the action and details, very interesting duck in the back ground, thinking if I don't move the swan wont see me, Very good details and depth and great composition. Very pleasing to view. Thank you for sharing. dale

Xoxoxo...now I know why he is extending his neck. Defensive offense. The title teaches viewers how to view this photo. Nice and funny title.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
