Family Outing

This shot was while I was biking on a trail in Michigan. The bike trail paralleled this river and every now and then, I could get a view of the water. At one spot on the trail, the early sun was hitting the opposite shoreline and this swan and her family were slowly drifting by. After I took the shot and reviewed it, I noticed the white of the swan made her look almost ethereal so instead of correcting it, I left it in. My thought was to show the mother as the peaceful driving force behind the family.
