I'm guessing it is gum?

It's a beautiful photo Marchel , is it a swan?

 

Posted by Mary Douglas, REALTOR ®, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado (United Country Ponderosa Realty) 7 months ago

Marchel,  My guess would also be a swan.

Posted by Gary Coles (Venture Realty Group) 7 months ago

My first thought was a swan or a duck.

Posted by Mary Warren 7 months ago

Possibly a wee toy swan?

Is it a duck or a swan with its head tucked under its wing?  The blue water is beautiful.

Posted by Shirley Parks, REALTOR® - SRES (Sands Realty, Broker) 7 months ago

Hey Marchel,

Since it's a reflection, could it be the moon or something in the sky?

Posted by Orange Co. Real Estate~Lynda Eisenmann, Broker-Owner, CRS,CRB,GRI,SRES, Brea, CA (Preferred Home Brokers) 7 months ago

Marchel, very cool photo!  The effect of the ripples on the reflections is really nice!

Posted by Tony Cannon, e-PRO & Darcy Cannon, SFR - The C Team (ERA Realty Center) 7 months ago

Marchel, this a very beautiful picture. I think, this is a swan.

Wow.. I thought a swan or duck as well.. 

Posted by Darren Revell (Keller Williams Elite Realty) 7 months ago

I am guessing the butt of a swan. 

Posted by Debra Walsh Orange Cty NY Real Estate 845.928.8000 (Keller Williams Realty Goshen, NY - Realtor) 7 months ago

Hi Marchel, It certainly looks like a swan with its head tucked back. I certainly can't think of anything else with a neck that long, :-)

My guess would be a swan too, but then someone could have tossed a white paper bag too...

Posted by Michael Thornton - Nashville, TN area Home Inspector (Complete Home Inspections, Inc.) 7 months ago

A swan was my first guess. But after "analyzing" its size with the trees,etc. I'm guess it's much smaller. Maybe a crumpled piece of paper?

Posted by Loreena Yeo, Realtor® Frisco TX Homes www.316teamREALTY.com (214) 783-2210 (3:16 team REALTY) 7 months ago

Must be a hat from someone looking over the bridge to the water.

Posted by Gene Allen Realtor Hampton Roads Real Estate (Resh Realty Group) 7 months ago

That's a work of art there. Looks like a flower petal to me but don't know if that would give such a ripple.

Posted by Steve Kappre, Gloucester - Camden County NJ Mortgage Loan Officer | 856-419-3561 (Treasury Mortgage | Mortgage Company - New Jersey) 7 months ago

Can't tell what is in the water....but it's a really good photo with the trees in the background.

Posted by Rob Thomas ABR, GRI, e-PRO (Heritage Homes at Sixth Street,Inc) 7 months ago

Gorgeous photo. Is it a swan? thank you for sharing this with us! Let us know what that white creature is!

Posted by Eileen Hsu (許小姐) Manhattan NY Real Estate (Prudential Douglas Elliman) 7 months ago

Hi, For those of you that guessed swan; you are correct.  My daughter tells me it is a swan with its head tucked under its wing. Personally I still can't see it but I've never been great at guess the picture.  To me it looked like a little statue of a unicorn (lol).

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

I thought a Swan also but it looks small must be in the distance.

Posted by Terry Bonnie Westbrook Westbrook Realty Grand Rapids Forest Hills MI Real Estate (Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner) 7 months ago

Marchel, I liked your name just fine!  This picture is beautiful.......and very peaceful.

Posted by Carole Provenzale and Laura Cerrano Owner, Feng Shui Long Island & New York (Feng Shui Long Island & New York City/Feng Shui Manhattan ) 7 months ago

Another beautiful picture.  Marchel, I'm with you on this one.  I would not have guessed it was a swan.

Posted by Irene Tron (Jarrett Real Estate) 7 months ago

Marchel that is a beautiful picture that your daughter took, and I am going to guess the same thing as everyone else ......... a swan

H Marchel:  Very pretty, and I thought it was a flower petal!

Water is so mesmerizing!

this is a beautiful photo.  Is your daughter a professional photographer?

Posted by Judi Barrett Integrity Real Estate Services, 580-212-5946 7 months ago

It looks like a yound swan to me...  Very nice pictures Thanks for sharing

Posted by Caron's Gateway Real Estate 7 months ago

So cold and shivery looking - a swan is my guess.

Posted by Sue Neff, Principal Broker, Jamestown, TN (Tennessee Recreational Properties) 7 months ago

DEBORAH, I think gum is a good guess as I still don't see the swan.

MARY, Yes it is a swan with its head under its wing.

GARY, Your guess of a swan is right but I still don't see it (lol).

MARY, It is a swan good guess.

JANEANN, When my daughter told me it was swan I asked if it was real.  It does look like a toy to me.  Although to me it looked like a toy unicorn.

RAY, I think her pictures are beautiful.  She truly has the eye!!

SHIRLEY, BINGO!  It is a swan with its head tucked under its wing.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

LYNDA, It is a swan but as hard as I look I still have trouble making it out.

TONY, I love the ripple with the reflections of the trees.  It is quite the unique picture.

JOHN, You are correct it is a swan.

DARREN, A swan it is!

DEBRA, It is a swan but with its head under its wing.  I'll bet it was cold.

WILLIAM, You have a good eye.  I keep looking at it and truly have problems seeing the swan.  I'm thinking I need to pull it up on our desktop to see if I can see it there.

MICHAEL, A white paper bag makes more sense to me than a swan but our daughter tells me it was a swan.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

LOREENA, It is a swan but I'm with you it could as easily be a crumpled piece of paper.  I guess that would not make ripples like the swan did though.

GENE, I see the hat better than I see the swan (LOL) but it is a swan.

STEVE, It would make a nice flower petal but that would not make a ripple like a swan does.

ROB, I thought it was a very COOL photo also.

EILEEN, It is a swan with its head tucked under its wing.

TERRY, It does look small for a swan but it was taken at a distance and is a swan.

 

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

CAROLE, I love pictures of water and I love pictures of trees.  Putting the two together makes for a great picture.

IRENE, I'm glad to hear that someone else can't see the swan.  I need to pull it up on a PC and see what it looks like.

GEORGE, Your guess is right, a swan it is!

JANE, I can see the flower petal and the hat but I'm still having problems seeing the swan (lol).

ANN, I love sitting beside water.  We are sailers and it is so relaxing sitting on the boat letting the wind blow us and watching the water.

JUDI, She has a degree in Graphic design so does have the design vent.  She is now an International flight attendant.  I told her she should get her masters in Photography but she said she doesn't want to ruin something she loves.  She came out of her graphic design classes totally burnt out on design.

DIANE, A swan it is but I'm not sure if it is a young swan.  Shoot I'm still having problems seeing the swan.

SUE, It must have been cold to put its head under its wing.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

Marchel,

Just a great photo with the colors, the ripples, and the total effect. Very nicely done. :)

The swan really pops against that blue water. Reflections are some of my favorite photo subjects.

Posted by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace) 7 months ago

Looks like a floating diaper but I should put on the glasses!

Posted by Trey Thurmond, College Station , Texas Homes (Brazosland Classic Realty) 7 months ago

Marchel,

That is so cool.  I have always wanted to live near a lake....

Marchel - I would have guessed a swan also. I always find it relaxing sitting by a pond watching the ducks and swans.

Posted by Robert Schwabe - Orange Park FL Real Estate (Keller Williams- First Coast Realty) 7 months ago

I love it and thankfully birds are made for that cold weather, I guessed duck or swan.

Excellent photo.

Reblogged, nature's beauty deserves it.

Posted by Melissa Kulikoff (Texas Loan Officer) 7 months ago

What a cool looking picture Marchel. I guess a swan:)

Posted by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty) 7 months ago

STEVE, I think my daughter takes great photos and as a proud Mom I love showcasing them.

JOHN, I love reflections also.  I just posted my own reflection picture of Lake Conroe a few weeks ago.  This one is my daughters but I think she has me beat.

TREY, I'll be honest I still don't see the swan.  A diaper makes more sense to me (lol) but a swan it is.

ANN, When we lived in NC we backed to a little lake.  I sure wish I would have had a digital camera back then.

 

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

ROBERT, I love the water we have a sail boat and there is nothing more relaxing.

MELISSA, Thanks for the re-blog.  I think our daughter takes GREAT pictures and so love sharing them. I had to ask her what it was though and to be honest I still have trouble seeing that swan.  I guess it must have been cold to have its head under its wing.

BILL, It is a swan and I also love the way the water ripples with the trees reflecting.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 7 months ago

I think we have a lot of creative minds here on AR.  a lovely photo.

Posted by Joan Whitebook, ABR,e-Pro,CEBA Southern New Hampshire (Buyer's Option Realty Services) 7 months ago

Morning Marchel, Your daughter takes very cool photos, love the wavy reflection of the bare trees.

Marchel I got here late, but I wanted to tell you that  your daughter is a talented photographer.  I could stare at that picture for hours.

Posted by Jennifer Fivelsdal, Mid Hudson Valley (JFIVE HOMES REALTY LLC) 7 months ago

An absolute gorgeous photo Marchel.  Love the ripling effects and my guess was a swan...but wasn't sure until I read your comment.

Posted by Rebecca Gaujot Lewisburg WV Realtor (Coldwell Banker Stuart & Watts Real Estate) 7 months ago

Hello Marchel and before reading the comments my guess was a white swan! And what a great photograph, please let your daughter know that her photo has been featured at VB's favorite group at AR!

I think someone was littering and threw a McDonald's napkin in the lake. LOL

Posted by Russel Ray, San Diego Business & Marketing Consultant & Photographer (Russel Ray) 7 months ago

What a lovely photo, Marcel! The ripples are so calming, and the reflections are awesome! She did a great job :)

Marchel, before reading the answers, I guessed a swan with its head tucked in - I could see a little piece of orange beak. What a cool photo!

Posted by Frank & Sharon Alters, CDPE-Short Sales Jacksonville-Orange Park-Fleming Island (Watson Realty - Clay County, Duval County, St. Johns County ) 6 months ago

The colors are just gorgeous!  I thought it was a swan, too, before I read the posts, having stalked my own series of swan photos :) It's really a beautiful photo!

Posted by Shoshana Shay (St. Pete Realty) 6 months ago

JOAN, In this case it is a creative daughter!  She has always done her own thing; even with pictures!

CYNTHIA, I'm a proud Mama but I do think that our daughter takes some COOL pictures!

JENNIFER, I truly think she has a gift.  I told her she should consider getting an MA in photography but she told me that she hated to ruin something she loved.

REBECCA, I have to admit I have trouble seeing the swan. I need to look at it on our desktop.

ROBERT, Thanks for featuring my daughters photo.  I'm obviously a proud Mama! 

 

 

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 6 months ago

RUSSELL, I can see the McDonald's napkin better than I can see the swan.

DEBI, I think she did an awesome job also but coming from you that' quite a compliment.

SHARON, I guess I need to pull this up on my desktop because I'm having problems seeing that orange beak.

SHOSHANA, I'm still looking for the swan but I love the ripples and the trees.

Posted by Marchel Peterson Spring TX Real Estate E-Pro (Results Realty) 6 months ago

Marchel, what a wonderful photo!  It would be fun to see the swan floating along the lake!

Posted by Patricia Kennedy (Evers & Company Realtors) 6 months ago

Love the composition of the shot, and the beautiful swan, and let me just say...trust your daughter, it's a swan! LOL
