Description

Two swans at a local watering hole, one of them is showing off its' beautiful plumage, the other calmly swimming nearby and not paying much attention. She's probably thinking, the showoff. So much for trying to impress someone.
Original image of Autumn background taken at Woodruff Bridge near Union Creek, Oregon.
I added a texture to the background to create the mist and clouds in the sky. I added the Flood Filter for more of an attractive reflection because the water was quite muddy and cloudy. Both swans were added as composite images. Flying birds added with a Photoshop brush.
