I have photoshopped a Swan

It was an awesome morning walk under a fiery sky and then a swan swam into the light ...

When I arrived ad the reservoir that morning, the sky was already turning red and I knew that I would get some nice images, but I had to be quick.

I had just put my camera on the tripod when one of two swans decided to swim from the shadows into the light right in front of me. When then he suddenly turned around to swim back, I asked him keep on swimming to the left, but he didn't listen. So, one reasonable sharp photo of the swan on the left side of the image was all I got, and I knew I would have to edit it.

Usually I don't do such edits, but in this case I just had to try it and in my eyes the left image looks much better that way. Next time I'll ask the swan a bit more intense to swim further :)

The colour in the sky didn't last longer than a couple of minutes until the rain clouds blocked the sunlight again, but I had got some lovely images anyway.
