Description
The Great Swan (Cygnus Olor) has spread to many European countries during the 16th and 17th centuries. At that time, they were mainly in captivity. Today, however, we know the swans as half-dead birds that live in the wild. Typical of a big swan is a black head on the beak root, which is particularly pronounced in males in the spring at the time of mating. Big swans are fairy-talented birds. We know their silhouettes from the surface of many lakes, ponds and rivers. Especially in winter we often see them in the mouth of the rivers. During this period, their snow-white feathers also gain an ascent color.

This is so well done, great depth, reflection and the bill of the swan add to what some might think is selective. Color and light is fantastic.
