"Swan at sunset"

Photo courtesy of John Nyberg.             (Click on the photo for a larger view) Today's picture features two of God's most beautiful creations: a graceful white swan and a spectacular sunset. Photographer John Nyberg has used his masterful post-processing and HDR skills to create a photograph that looks much like a fine-art oil painting. What a lovely image to add beauty and character to an otherwise boring wall!     Visitor Comments...
