A very nice lighting for the swan.
Thanks, Chantal.
Love the bow-wave. And the water is so cold, emphasized by the cold-looking swan.
Thanks, ehpem. I don’t think the swans mind the cold as much as we think. They are thriving as long as they are well fed and have plenty of water around. There have been harsher Winters where the Lake has become frozen over to a great distance and I would think that that would be a hard season for them.
Love the toning on the water, a most elegant picture.
Thanks, Charles. I like this toneing, too, and made it a preset in Lightroom. You’ll probably see it again.
Beautiful! A really brilliant capture, perfect lighting and tones.
Thanks, Gracie. We are blessed with heavy overcast most of the year, which is nice lighting for this sort of subject.
Finally! I lost your new blog address and googling it didn’t seem to help…Glad to see you’re still blogging, Ken.
Thanks, John. I’m not ready to give up on blogging, I’ve learned so much.
