I had never heard of or seen swans dance before a trip to Paris many years ago. I went to an amazing park called Butte Chaumont, and was sitting on the bank of a pond when two swans began their intricate choreography right in front of me, as if in a private performance. I was completely awestruck, and have never forgotten that dreamlike time. Thanks for reminding me.

This photo is stunning! Duotone effect is excellent. I am inspired to work on my duotone skills. Very nice.

Congratulations on this beautiful picture.It really looks like they´re dancing. I love the deep blue color of the water which contrasts with the white on the swans plumage.

Perfectly circular waves going away from these two gorgeous birds caught my eye. Original color image didn't have that "punch" I hoped for, so I converted it into grayscale image and aplied dutone in order to get some extra contrast and deep blue color.

If you liked this image I would appreciate your comments on the rest of the photos in my Scenics folder. If you are not too much into the landscapes of mine :), you may like my "Portraits of family and friends" better.

What else is there to say really? This is a case for the use of PS or PSP or The gimp or whatever, producing this brilliance from what the photographer calls a shot lacking "punch".
