Yeah, this is the only frame where the swan isn't doing silly things like sticking its head underwater to eat or something else unphotogenic.
I'll work on it a bit more, see what I can do with it, but I don't want to brighten him too much. Don't want to get too far from what he actually looked like with that backlight .
