Swan

I took this picture while at a local nature area called Stanton Park. It is just stretching and flapping its wings a bit, it would have been great if it decided to take off - but alas, not to be!
I converted it to black and white with NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 (free from Google)

Lovely. I like the wing stretch and the reflections with the ripples. Very nice.

Thanks Casa,

As with a lot of things with this photography lark - you sometimes just need to be in the right place at the right time ............ most of the time ........
