Moody Mute Swan

As the sun dropped in the late afternoon a peculiar light transcended over the lake at the Hirsel near Coldstream. There was only about twenty minutes shooting time left and the sun was hitting the swans but not illuminating the water, as the sun set lower the light warmed up. This led to a moody atmosphere of which I have often though of and hoped for, but never come across before. Just never been in the right place at the right time
