The image is minimalist in colour and subject matter. The colour is black and white with a blue tinge. The subject is a swan swimming by. It is located at the bottom left. Light wave movements can be seen in the water. The fog creates a soft and serene atmosphere. The horizon is just visible with a beacon on the right. The fact that the swan is clearly visible at the front and the beacon is less visible at the back creates depth in the image, despite the image being fairly flat. The sky is grey/white. The colour gradient of the image is from dark, below, to light, above, and is quite cool.
This image was taken during my winter holiday. On my way to Austria, I made a stop in Lindau on Lake Constance in Germany. I was hoping for a nice view across the lake to the mountains but unfortunately it was a foggy day. So no mountains but a small world with a soothing atmosphere, which gave a special feeling. When I look at this image, it feels as it was.
If you are looking for a calming print then this one is definitely recommended.
