    Graceful, lovely and Twisted! I almost used a photo of the Common Loon in much the same twisted pose.

    Så underbart vackert och gracilt!
    Bra fångat för temat.
    Svanar är verkligen supermodeller för fotografering. Jag har sällan med mig kameran på hundpromenaderna, eftersom jag tycker den blir för tung, men i morgon ska jag ta med den till min lilla sjö där två par svanar bor. Tusen tack för inspirationen!

    Har hørt rykter om at du har en svane med sånn nakke hjemme også! Du får pleie henne godt da!

    This is the most beautiful twisted entry. I can't tell you how elegant she is. I missed you on Saturday (I'm having lots of trouble with this Technorati linking and probably others are, also), so I can't even find half of the entries. But I'm glad I stumbled across yours while I came to see your Odd Shot.
