They just finished their synchronized drinking when I shot this. I was doing what I could to get the sun rays in the background.

Nice capture and colors but would crop off some of the top to bring the focus more directly to the swans.

Beautiful shot. Cropped a little too much on the swans. But the misty morning a backlighting adds much quality to the shot. The swans are the focal point. Should not have cut them out so much. This shot is close to being a magazine cover. Thanks for sharing.

The swans seem like one picture to me and the brightly lit mist another. They don't quite work together as one image.
