This landing Trumpeter Swan was photographed at a wintering site in Minnesota. 40D, 300 f/4 + 1.4X, 1/1600, f/7.1, ISO 400, hand-held using a BushHawk. Comments are welcome.

This is a shot I have tried to get many times. You captured this in a stunning fashion. The whites are exposed beautifully and the detail is magnificent.

Ditto Joe. You are killing us here. And with the tongue sticking out yet!

Great job, Steve--did you pay these guys off to pose so nicely?? ;)

[Marina Scarr]

You did another great job here, Steve. Love the landing pose, perfect whites and the landing strip splash!

I agree on the positives above, but wish for a lower angle. Still a lovely image.
