'Mute Swan at Dawn,' by Ben Hall

“Mute Swan at Dawn,” Cheshire, UK, by Ben Hall, Poynton, Cheshire, UK. This image was “Highly Honored” in the Birds category.

Says Hall: … Eventually the swan swam into the rays of light and gently shook the water from its wings. It was one of those magical moments when everything seemed to come together at just the right moment.”

What an amazing picture with the swan rising up into the golden light. WOW! Voted for your excellent capture. What is the small rectangle midway down the left side? It seems a distracting to the impact of this photo.
