Very nice addition, but you forgot their reflection.
mac - also, they look too bright for where they are, but nice job of putting them there.
Nice work, I agree with Mr. Q Should try for a reflection. : )
OK - this is the best I can do. This is tricky :>)
I used the clone tool but you have to reduce the opacity quite a bit.
great job on the cloning of the reflection and I love that it looks so much like a painting
Better.
Suggestion on making the reflection - since you got a clean copy of the swans, make another image and flip it vertical, reduce opacity, and smear it quite a bit.
Hey duck - this is a fixit. Give it a try.
Ok, here is what I did. Got the original, unprocessed, posted images, didn't want to mix up processed typed. Isolated the swans Didn't add or change their reflection, just isolated that, too Darkened the swans a little, per Dub, maybe a little too much Positioned the swans in the bridge shot. Went to where the green reflection was, I think it added a little there Resized swans Moved reflection in, resized (tricky trying to get it the same size), then changed the opacity (nice trick, don't know if I would have thought of that)

Mr.Q
Great job on the reflection but my snowwhite swans looks like they been wallering in the mud - Ha! Ha!
Up here in the north they are pure white just as captured. I did not increase whiteness at all.
It was fun!

Yea, I know, a little dark.
But that is why they went to the pond, to wash off the mud.

I like the last 'fix'..and with the soft muted tone if the swans were 'white' would really seem out of place (to me)......
