The image is a photograph of a black swan swimming in a body of water. The swan is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is partially submerged in the water. It has a long neck and a red beak, and its wings are spread out as if it is about to take flight. The water is calm and still, and the swan's reflection can be seen on the surface. The background is a light grey color, which contrasts with the dark feathers of the bird.
