I captured the BHG(winter plumage) on the same loch, same place, as my previous Mute Swan image. It was on the loch under overhanging trees, which made it deep in shadow. Getting the take off was a bonus, as I never expected it. As with my Swan image(theme image winner last month ) I added contrast to the BG to make it darker.
