Good evening everyone, thank you all so much for the c/c's for the Great Crested Grebe, i was knockedback by the amount of people who took their time to comment, thank you, this swan was forever chasing a canada goose away from his swan lady who was nesting, it has been played around in PS i darkened the bg to almost black with some blue flecks, the white spots either side of the swan was droplets of water being pushed around by the speed in the water. also the use of a flood filter, he looked so good that day i just wanted to emphasise his reflection. It may not be to everyones taste, but I hope some of you enjoy it as much as I did - Thank you - Gary

From the thumbnail, I didn't think I'd like this, but it is rapidly growing on me because you have created such a striking effect.
