i really love the color the reflection and the whole serenity of the whole piece, not to mention i love swans..

Hi Elizabeth, I still love this and the idea of simulating moonlight...but one thing I might suggest is to make another layer over your original and erase it back over the swans so that they are less blue and show a bit more white...I think they get lost a bit in the beautiful blue of the water

Thanks everyone & thanks Leslie...I was wondering how to do that.!!
Do I use the original photo & layer it over this one, or layer this one
over original????

Another very effective result with photoshop, good work. I'm going to post another geese one soon that I've been endlessly reworking but your composition here is much more pleasing.
It would be easier to lay this one over the original and mask over the swans (and also some of their reflection for consistency, which I haven't done here in this quick look). Obvioulsy I've just used a white background which won't work as well as your original. As a very quick example, the one on the left lets the background show through 12% and the one on the right is 20%. I haven't yet further adjusted the whitepoint on PS curves, which you might want to do for each swan separately, as I found they had a slightly differently colour cast.

The photo is too dark

It is not my style the blue tone, it is a excellent compoced foto, I do think I would have like it a lot better in orginal.

regards Kaj Nielsen

Elizabeth, what Leslie suggests I only know that can be done before you have flattened the layers...I think. :) Great job of turning day into a blue blue night, but I agree a little more white in the swans would make them seem lunminous in the moonlight.
