I love the detail that reveals the intracacies of the swan's wing and the layering of feathers on its underside. Thanks for sharing!

Probably can't wait to grow up and get his snow white feathers. Nice shot.

@Earnest: I am just lucky to have the river Main at the end of my street and I park my car there everyday, so always try not to miss opportunities... ;)
Thanks for stopping by!

Creative theory on the sandals. There's actually a very simple explanation for why one is more worn than the other, and since you did try to guess, I'll tell you. She really likes those sandals, so she bought multiple pairs. The left one broke, so she just took the left sandal from a new pair she had as backup. :)

Just a brief stop-by to say hi, dear Manuela, thank you so much again for your very kind words at my blog the other day, and WOW, this is really a beautifully clear capture. Absolutely stunning. You really have a magnificent eye and hand. There is no doubt about it.
