About the Image(s)
I took this photo in April in Louisiana while traveling. Total surprise to see it on a small lake/pond. Data on it is F4, Exposure 1/1000, with a Sony RX10iv. I probably did not need it to be be 1/1000, but it was moving when I saw it. I took the photo because I had only seen one Mute Swan before! Here was another chance. The light was right at the golden hour, and many colors were present. My goal is to present a unique, beautiful photo to enjoy looking at. In processing it, I really did very little. Wish there was more detail in the bird, but the light was so low. I used PS ACR to adjust the light and colors, then denoised and sharpened it some, and added some contrast at the end. Any suggestions on how it can be improved will be appreciated!
