Love this shot, but I can't think of a title for it.

I love this shot. I got it at Hallstatt Lake in Austria a couple of months ago. What I like best about the shot is how the wingtips are just touching their reflections.

Right now, I am NOT on my calibrated monitor - so color, contrast, and levels will be taken care of later. At this point I am just after general feedback. (Vingette was NOT added)

Particularly, which crop is most effective - I am leaning away from the full open view, but I see merits and demerits to all three visions.

Also, I have been racking my brain for a title - Nothing seems to be coming to mind. The only thing that came up was a song title, "Reflections of My Life"

Shot with a 5d Mk II
Canon 28 - 135 at 135mm
f 5.6
1/1250

Critique, Comments and especially title recommendations very welcome.

And Upright - which works out to about a 50% crop.

For the crop I like the first one or the third one, and there's nothing to stop you having two versions...

As for the name, how about 'low profile'??

Maybe "Stretching for home."

Nice catch.

I think you have to decide if this is 'pictorial' - in which case the suggested titles make sense. If its 'nature' then something like 'Cygnus latin latin coming into land at Hallstatt Lake' might suit. For me, a landscape crop with the bird on the left hand side third might work.

I have no clue what to call it. It's a hell of a shot, though.
