Here is a snapshot that I shot sometime ago when I hiked somewhere between Timmendorfer Strand and Travemünde. I saw two swans playing in the Baltic Sea water. It’s both amazing, when they land or when they take off. I always though they are pretty playful, in Reinfeld for example I was standing on a bridge and some swans flew over my head as if they wanted to show their flying skills. This together with the white plumage makes them look majestic. There are more photos of swans on my blog if you like to see some other images.

Good capture Dennis. They could easily have melted into the background colour of the sky and sea.
Yes, that is the difficulty there. Somehow photos shot at the Baltic Sea always have a grey or silver tone… probably because of the typical cloudy and windy sea-weather… near the Baltic Sea, there is always a certain darker lighting. Shooting things on the water doesn’t make it easier. 🙂
