Strange, I thought swan always goes as a pair

excellent capture of the day last light and the colors it creates on the water

thanks for sharing

thank you There were a pair a month ago but something must have happened to one of them. There is only one now.

A brilliant sunset picture with the Mute Swan in near silhouette as it glides across the lake the sun setting behind the trees on the far bank colouring the sky along & just above the horizon in pale gold fading to pale blue these soft & beautiful colours reflected on the lake the swans shadow reflection seen beside it. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Thank you very much. There were a pair (as there always is) earlier this year but something must have happened to this one's mate because there is only the solitary swan on the beach in front of my house. Maybe next year I will have cygnets. Thanks again.

A very peaceful scene of this solitary swan. I love how it is almost silhouetted against the lake and shore background. Good placement of the swan in the scene. Best of the best on the contest ~ Steve
