A low light image again from Loch Lomond, capturing a couple of swans against a backdrop of the setting sun........the colours are as captured and the only editing was cropping to size and slight sharpening.

My thanks to all who commented on Autumn on the Loch, esp. as I was unable to contribute much for a day or two.

Ronnie.

Perfectly composed shot Ronnie, you couldn't have asked for the swans to be any better placed to work with the gorgeous sunset

I have to agree with Rontear, there seems to be a blueish cast from the auto white balance. Have you tried adjusting that and maybe upload as a new version.

Regardless of the cast, it's a wonderful picture.

I'm in the 'blue cast' camp, Ronnie. It looks good on the water especially with the contrasting gold, but not so good on the swans.

Glad to see that you are back at your computer.
This is a wonderful scene with great depth from the reeds in the foreground back to the mountains. You couldn't have positioned those swans any better (or are they radio controlled models)!
