He's only resting...
Taken toward the last part of the day and fighting to retain detail within the feathers. I just found the stark contrast of the swan & BG rather appealing, especially with that beady eye.

Thanks guys.

Lee, I probably have pulled it back a tad too far to be honest as there is some noise creeping in on the bottom rh corner, more evident on this compared to the A3 print. The whites are probably 'too pure' but I liked the contrast of it all. :wink:
