Hi Assi
I really like this artistic shot. The black swan made for an extra black silhouette. The absolutely stunning reflective colours on the water, the dripping water from the swan's beak, and the circled ripples in the water gives this photo a very pleasant mood.
The details are quite fine and the exposure was well managed.
Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
PS. I can only echo Mike's sympathy and hopefully some of the many viewers will yet wake up and give this photo some well deserved credit.
