 There is a small lake by the old city center in Reykjavík where the ducks, geese and swans lead a semi wild existence. This young swan was more than willing to pose for my camera.

Aw, pretty swan :-) Like the light for the most part, though some of the shadows are a bit pink on my screen.

Great that your whites are not blown out. Nice pose. The point of focus needs to be just an inch or so forward and then this would be perfect!
