Into the Light

This is a pretty straight forward picture taken in early morning. The backlighting was so strong the swan was almost a silouette. Evened the lighting out, liquified the water, added canvas on the top, removed canvas on the bottom and gave her a glamour glow in NIK.

Comments welcomed.

The Glamour Glow does nice things to this image, Pat. It's an eye-catcher.

Regards,

Very ethereal and the star burst is a nice touch. The lighting is lovely!

Beautiful effect, Patricia. My only nit is that the swan is looking away from us. The distant look that results is effective here anyway but I wonder how a more intimate look with this same treatment would compare.

Excellent, Patricial. Feels like it's right out of a fairy tale.
