This picture had a very light coating of Topaz Simplify applied, because it had some flaws in it that I couldn't seem to get rid of.

I think Topaz suites this black swan perfectly, Jimbob. He's going to need special glasses to see through that water! Bravo!

Worked out good that Topaz!....I thought the Swan had a few 'passengers' on it's rear end...but noticed it was fluffed up feathers!

Good capture f the black swan and your editing has made the image look prettier. The different tones of green make a nice background for the black swan Jimbob.

The Black Swan seems to be careful not to step in the Topaz, JimboB. Perhaps he is allergic.
I don't think I have ever seen a Black Swan other then a photo.
Good edit.

The reflected light from the water really accents the darker aspects of the swan. Good job!

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967

Think it's amazed by all that 'floating lettuce'. Too much vitamins for it, lol.

Good and inventive solution Jimbob. Very well done mate!

Never seen one this color, the water color brought out the reflections. Nice capture.

That's what I do too...when I can't fix the flaws I cover 'em up, lol...and your efforts paid off in a very attractive image of this striking bird.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

A nice capture of the swan, Jimbob. Good clarity in the water and colours and textures in the image.
