Swan's Lake
Although it sounds nice, that's not the actual name of the lake.
When I came to close, the male swan made a pretty clear statement with hissing, that I should back away, and that this is his territory.
So I did back away, and left them continue with their evening cleaning ritual…
Nikon D750 / ISO 100 / 1/160s / f11 / Samyang 24mm f1.4
The shot was taken at Mrzla Vodica lake, in Gorski Kotar region, Croatia.
That's my entry for the #goldenhourphotography contest, hosted by @juliank.
Hope you like it,
Cheers,

It's a beautiful shot. No sign of the hissing. I've heard swans can be quite nasty if you get too close when they don't want you to. When I was a kid there were geese at our school that terrorised us! :D
hahaha
The geese terrorist :)
And yes, the swan was quite intimidating. Standing his ground and hissing like some devilish snake :)
Very nice shot and I like the way you choose to edit it. Very clean and soft, looks like a postal card. I like it!
Thanks.
I played with toning of the highlights and shadows in Lightroom...
