Taken with a 1sec shutter speed on a tripod. I take a lot of swan images and wanted to show the contrast between the chaotic movement and total calm that they are equally capable of. I was lucky enough that the central swan stayed still for that long while his companions preened themselves! In the end, this was only one of a couple of 100 or so images I took that came out right. I'll upload some of the outtakes to show what I was up against if people say they'd like to see them.

Very neat shot. Thats amazing that you were able to get the center duck to stay still while the other two moved. I'm assuming thats how the shot was made.

Okay, the border first, like it but might have been better with a line white line to match all the colours. Other than that, the shot is great & quite beautiful!
