Satto..thank you so much for you beautiful comment....sometimes I play with the light in photoshop, but in this case all I did was add a simple white border to the photograph..
(Tack själv sĺ mycket för du skön kommentera. ibland JAG lek med det ljus i foton , utom i det tillfället all JAG auktoriserat inte var tillägga en enkel vitt kant till fotografien.)

Ometepe....Gracias así muy much. tomábamos un paseo en el parque y sierra el cisne en el lago. Tomaba varios retrato pero como esto un el mejor.

Piet...thank you so very much...it was extremely bright out this day so I waited for the swan to drift under the shade of a tree...and then took the photograph....I believe the reflection was more luck than talent........

So exquisite, and I'd go so far as to call it magical in a sense. :) Lovely capture!

PhotoPro..thank you so very much....these birds are so regal....normally they aren't as cooperative as they were today....on the lake in the park we visit there are only two big swans....and I've never been able to get close to them..except for today....
