Beautiful shot although I'm not sure shooting from above suits the subject.

I thought Black swans were only in Dawlish in devon. Didnt realise they were elsewhere.

I took it from this POV to make the red of the beak stand out that little bit more, and a bit more interesting than the time old side view taken from the side of the water, and also as a challenge to stretch myself

I love this shot, especially with the red beak. It makes the rest of the duck stand out!!

I'm learning so much more than photography on this forum. I just never realized there were black swans. Great shot..
