I photographed this Mute Swan in brilliant winter sunshine. Oblique lighting produced a dramatic result. The weather turned bad today so I spent the afternoon processing this image. Hope you like the result.

I love the lighting on the body and the ripples in the water, David. I think you could bring up the brightness on the shades side of the face just a touch more without making it obvious.

The light reveals nice textures. Well done.

I think the exposure looks much better in the large detailed view on my monitor. I can see a lot of detail in the shadows. A nice image.
