Trumpeter Swan Mono

I thought this image captured today would work nicely as a mono.

 

I revisited the park where springs keep a section of water open all winter. We are now finally in full spring melt so there is a vast span of open water where twenty days ago had been ice. As a result, there were not as many swans congregating where they do when the ice is competing with the springs for dominance. There was one juvenile that appeared to be losing its grey feathers and getting the snow white plumage indicative of an adult. That swan was curious enough to make its way to the shore where I was located. I captured this image on its approach.

 

My old Minolta 135mm manual lens was attached to the a6000.
