Beautiful swan and great reflections. Where did you take this? See, I think if I ask you a question you might just reply.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Beautiful - the reflection and the ripples really make this image stand out, and your composition is excellent. The water is an unusual color - did you process the image to get that or was it natural?

21 May 2008 3:15pm

@Chris: Thanks, Chris ... the setting was so beautiful I just snapped away. The water color is natural, probably colored by algae.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

The reflection is glorious Judy a beautiful shot. There is something soothing about watching Swans glide through the water.

The trouble is, we rarely see swans where we live!
