Deborah Cummings, The beauty of Swans (Wildlife and Animal 2019)

I had been practicing using the manual setting on my camera. I must admit I love watching birds preen themselves. This particular day I was lucky to be able to observe a white swan preening herself. I really liked the contrast created in these photos using the manual setting.
