Got your film camera out, huh? This looks great - the backlit feathers is what makes it - love the intensity in the light coming from them.

Very aesthetic composition with his pose and the others in the background repeating, and of course great lighting. Is the slight dreamy effect from the long distance or PS ?

Thanks a lot Louise! This is the original framing, no cropping. But to get this shot I spend many day going to the same spot shooting the swans over and over again. After I while you can predict where they are going and where to stand to get the perfect framing. :)
