Swan on Frosty Morning

by davidstorm

The light on a Winter's morning like today is lovely. Shot into the low sun with the last remnants of morning mist rising from the lake.

That is a great picture. It suits black and white very well too. I have been photographing swans recently, they are so graceful, this really captures that.

Best wishes,
David W

Hi David, the picture is actually not a BW it is colour! It was a misty morning and shot into the sun, so colours are not saturated, but if you look carefully at the swan's beak you can see it is orange! Thanks for your comments and also to everyone else, once again I am blown away by the response to this picture.

Regards
David

Wow ,I thought it was sepia toned. Its wonderfully soft and still contrasty.
Best wishes,
