I played with this image in Photoshop. Adjusting colors and saturation and mixing then applying photocopy filter effects. Used the eraser to take some of the effects off of the Swaans highlight features.
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva

Frank, this is an eye catcher. And thanks for your narration. I like hearing about the effects that are used on the images. The swan does have a touch of evil in his eyes - but he's so lovely! Nice the effects of the lake - how there's a dark and lighter shade to the water. And this is a good desktop image. I like something different :))
