Practical ... not Pretty!

The webbed feet of an Australian Black Swan serve it well as it glides through the water, but on land it appears rather ungainly waddling over grassland in search of more food.

    Excellent entry! I thought the feet were reptilian.

    Love the leathery and scaly textures of this very creative image. Excellent work!

    Kevin, Sherry and Charles, thank you all.

    I have kept track of this family over many months and have numerous "typical swan" shots so thought it was time for something a little different.
