Wow Leona, WOW!
These are so fantastic, each one so different I cannot choose between them. The last one looks so graceful, bowing as if to say "yes, yes I know, I am so amazing".
And the upside down shot, brought a big grin to my face.
thank you for a great set

These are so Goooood! I couldn't pick a favorite, Such Great Detail in every one. I think the one with the head upside down is just the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. Also the detail in the 2nd is just Amazing. What a wonderful trip it must have been!
Thank You for sharing these Leona!
Michael.

Hi Leona. This is for me one of your best set of photographs and would be worthy of any wild life magazine. Outstanding work. Everyone of them just amazing. You should be so proud.

hugs

I am kind of with everyone else...each shot has its little thing that makes it pop but I really like the last one...it is unique

Wow Leona, wonderful shots, I like the last one best, very graceful, she seems to think she's a swan.
