[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yes, it looks like a severe swan attack but it isn't.
In the morning I started my safari to look where the swan family was. I saw them on some distance. Then I simply wistle the melody they are used to and the male starts running over the water towards me. When there is no bread hy bites a bit in my shoe and joins the family again.

Some more "attacks": 1, 2, 3, 4 and my best one! Here

Much more swans in my three themes:

The swan family 2007

Swans, my personal collection

The crop also makes it more dramatic. I posted the origional in the workshop to see the differents.

Hoi Hendrik,

Perfecte actiefoto!. Alles klopt in mijn ogen; belichting, compositie, enig onscherpte die de actie juist accentueerd. Prachtig...
Ik zou me ook in m'n schoen laten bijten voor zo'n shot!

Groeten,

Edwin

I think he likes you a lot. But please take some bread with you when going for a visit.
Stunning picture, jammer dat er veel oe(i) oe(i) in zit.

Hello Hendrik,you have captured the strength and power of the swan in this impressive shot.
I particularly like the movement of the water with the splashes completely filling the shot.
Excellent work.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Het lijkt inderdaad of dat beessie heel erg boos is... Jammer dat het niet zo'n scherpe foto is. Maar de aktie is mooi en effectief!
Jouw favoriete zwaanfoto is ook mijn favoriete zwaanfoto! Een prachtplaatje!!
