This is something beautiful Graham.
If only the marsh I often visit had such narrow arms!

Lovely colour from the trees and reflections, and sense of atmosphere from the slight mistiness, but the swan, even though it's hard at first glance to see what it is, gives it a real focal point that just draws the eye in.

Cheers Paul would have preferred for the swan to be slightly bigger, but he was winning the other way and didn't come back :-(
