 The swan was on a lake which is on the property of an antique shop outside of New Hope, PA. The dark contrast of the water was a perfect backdrop for the white swan and the pose made it even better.

Crop, levels, contrast, USM, hue/sat, 2nd levels, Neat Image, soften edges.

It would have been impossible to stage this shot. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. ;-)

How did you get this shot? Either you had a lot of time on your hands or it was staged. Great capture, nothing to improve.

Good luck.
