Just back from my "Winter in Yellowstone" Tour. We founds about 50 trumpeter swans in the Hayden Valley and some took off right by us giving us a nice opportunity. It was foggy and snowing lightly.

The grey "blob" in LLC immediately caught my eye and I would clone that out in a New York minute!
I think the image could go brighter overall.
The formation is nice although, in a perfect world, there would be more separation between swan # 4 and 5.

I love the look and feel of the image. The darker bills and feet, combined with the underwing colour, offer very neat patterns. Yes to removing the greyish spot in LLC.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Yes I can easily remove the OOF sagebrush.. Just pretty much showing as shot as I do with most of my images.... That would improve it overall and I will do that.
