When I saw this swan in shallow water at the Ky. Horse Park, I took several quick shots of his movements. This one was my favorite as "frozen in time", he appears to be gazing at his reflection. Very overcast conditions, 300 mm zoom lens, tripod, light texture added in ps8.

  Thanks so much, Kasia, Sharon, Carolyn, Colette, and Cathy for your comments! Carolyn, your're right, LOL, but when he did get ready he was off too quickly - so no close up this time.

Cathy, I agree that the reflection was a nice bonus but I didn't add it. The photo is just as it was taken except for the texture.

  This is another terrific photo, Marie. Looks like TRP@TRT,E… has struck again. The reflection is a very intergral part of this and you should absolutely take full credit for it. Remember, they never say "How" they jsut always say "How terrific…" Extremely well done, Marie - Allan

  Marie - the point is you didn't crop the reflection out so it's yours! Like your effects on this lovely shot...

  Nice image Marie! The catch on the swan looking into that wonderful relfection is fantastic! Would love to see this without the texture too!

Hi, Charlene, Joy, and Lori! Thanks so much for your comments.

Lori, I have never done this part before (where you upload an image on the response page) but I am going to try to upload the "untextured" swan.....
