Swan Chiascuro

[Dave Mills]

Found this in my files from a few years ago which I thought lent itself to the topic.
Added a small bit of Nik Tonal Adj to pop it a bit.

Awesome reflection and lighting. I think the pano crop works well here. My laptop is a bit light so I can see some of the light areas in the BG that I might darken down (probably not visible on a regular monitor). Great work Dave and TFS.

Very nice image, Dave. I love the symmetrical view, and the lighting and details look awesome. The drop hanging from the bill is a nice touch as well. I might add just a sliver more room on top. Well done.

Hi Dave, perfect image for the theme and thanks for posting it! Very nice reflection and lighting. Agree with thoughts regarding a tad more room on the top. I like the way the temperature of the light changes between the areas of direct sun and shade.

I like this image a lot, agree with Christopher about a tiny bit more room at the top but really like the overall look of the image.

Wow Dave the contrasts are really cool, matching the theme perfectly. The reflection is awesome. I turned my laptop vertical which really puts this out of the box!

Side lighting and tonal effects has brought out the lighting well for the theme Dave.
