Terry,

I like the idea here and how you have, I guess, a swan in the image. I like the vertical trees in each side of the image and the open sunlight area in the middle the swan is flying into. The OOF patch of grasses on the lower right catch my eye. You could crop higher up but lose the nice light tan grasses to the left. You could clone the grass on the left over the right OOF section if you are into doing that kind of thing. I would also suggest just trimming the right edge a bit to remove the partially cut tree.

Hey Terry, very cool shot, I like the painted feel in the image. I like the lighting and the slight fog in the BG.

Thanks very much for the comments, Robert and Mike. That is a trumpeter that flew through the scene. This particular location is often shouded in fog, so a little light is a real treat here.

Like Mike, I also think the image ahs a great painterly feel to it. I like the swan flying through the light area.
