Swan in the Pond

I took this yesterday at my local pond.

Very nice.

Nice, don't see many around here. The water dripping from the beak is cool. Would have been nice if you had the full reflection of the swan in the water. Also the white looks a little to cool and slightly dull. Maybe a WB adjustment, boost the contrast, white, and luminosity.

Thanks for viewing and input.
I adjusted the WB in PS to warm it up a bit, and it looks better.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't really use PS that much anymore, so I had to bring it into PS and work with it to comment on what worked. This could use some more tweaks, but you get idea in the following edit

1. Added "levels" layer > Auto Options>Auto Color Correction Options>Chk Find Dark & Light Colors
2. Add "Curves" layer, pulled down the blacks, slightly down on midtones.
3. Added "Hues/Saturation" layer > saturation > +5
4. Added "Vibrance" layer> vibrance> +6
5. Added "Britghtness/contrast" layer > Brightness > -17
6. Duplicate original layer >Unsharp mask

Hey, you built the house, I just added a little paint here and there! If you have the availability of working in the new LR, I would highly recommend it over PS.
