 I found this guy cruising around in the lagoon by my house. I had to go thru about 50 shots before I finally got one where that water drop was in just the right place at the tip of his beak. Cropped, converted to duotone, cloned out some water specks, and tweaked sharpness, brightness/contrast, levels, etc. in PSCS.

Classic beauty. Loving the drop coming from the swan's beak.
