Thanks Stu! Yes, luck is also part of the game.
I did three adjustment layers: one for the black face,
one for the eye, and one for the neck and head…
that I deleted ultimately because it didn't look natural.

Lovely shot Daniel, but I lost sight of the drop of water in the general gloom at first. Also I feel the crop as well as the light-tonality is centred more on the wings, rather than towards the eye-line direction of the swan's look. I've edited it to show you what I mean. (Note: This is just a quick edit, not very subtle, to show you my meaning rather than to say this is how it should look or be!)

You will never have to explain your motivations to me
as I understand you perfectly… just do it!
I agree that the OP (now edited) was too tamed tonally.
Though I appreciate your thoughts, when it comes to
cropping, my publishing clients prefer a layout approach.
Centrefold example…
