This is perfect Linn one of the best swan shots I've seen. The tight crop and frame enhance it even more.7+

Hey Chris - it's only a hop, skip and jump across African countries and you land half an hour from where we live :-) If I could do it (all on my own and find my way around Heathrow!) then so can you can you and Mrs S :-)
You would love this nursery. They have a magnificent display of water features and stunning (man-made) waterfalls. Remember the white swan diving into the waterfall that I posted a while ago? That was taken there too. Plus they have a collection of animals - for children - but also entertaining for the adults. And on top of that, they have a great selection of plants and the entire place is drenched with colour during the flowering seasons (which unfortunately is not now )
As for the tea ... you are on your own there ... we are coffee people :-) You could have your tea, and we will stock up on the latte's :-) Plus - you could have a slice of melktert (milk tart) which is oh so traditionally South African :-))
So - are you flying business or first class? :-))

Stunning shot, immaculate presentation and nice story!
Sounds like my kind of place, Mrs.C.
Now wouldn't it be cool if Mrs S. and I could meet up for tea with you and Robert?!!
A little too far to travel unfortunately!
Keep posting these great images.
Kind regards, Chris

Here's an image of how the koi hangs around the swans. Some of them even jump out the water!

Jeroen, I got a fright when I checked the stats of the image - I didn't realise I was that close!
The word is "closer than you think" but your English is just fine :-)
Did you know that swans mate for life?

Love the composition, the crop, the deatail in the black fur and the background.
Watch it when using a wide angle while framing the King: you're actually nearerby (is that correct?) then you might think!

I was thinking of you when I cropped :-) Actually, every image I now crop I think "Now I wonder how Elisa would do this?" and then I crop and un-crop, and crop and un-crop ...
Wish you could see this bird ... the koi follows them around wherever the swans are (both the whites and the blacks) because they know that some of the food is spilled in the water. In this particular image, there was a beautiful koi in the foreground and if I included it, I would have lost this tight crop.
