Thanks, ann. As I said, the sun's position back lit the wings thus allowing a tad of wing feather detail. The silhouettes, themselves, presented a reasonably sharp edge and nudged it into postable. I could have cropped to balance the space above and below the Swans, but by my experience, that seems an issue I worry about too much.
