1st Place
Taking Flight
by DaveV (aka George Bailey)

Taken just after sunrise on a very cold morning. (-16 F)
There's a power plant upstream that pumps out warm water into the river.
On very cold mornings, the steam rises from the river.
I got lucky that the sun was able to go through a break in the fog/steam
to light up the swans.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks everyone.
I see that there's a week to go in the ctf challenge. I have other worthy shots from that day, maybe I'll enter one of those after this challenge is done.
I don't want to give myself away. :D George B.

Stunning! I love the way they look like they are walking, with great effort, upon water. ~ Lonnit
