Goodbye Swans

by davidstorm

The last in a series of 3 pictures featuring a pair of Swans on Grasmere / Rydal Lakes in the Lake District. Like my previous upload, the atmosphere seemed to suit an 'almost mono' treatment. I have toned down all of the colour except for the swans' beaks and added a subtle hint of Cyan to enhance the cold bluish atmosphere of the day.

Good, I like the rock in front, driving us to the reflexion and to the mountains in back. Then, we travel with the swans.

I love the reflections, and the stony bottom through the glass clear water.
Best Regards, Larry.
