The image is a black and white photograph of a swan swimming in the water. The swan is in the center of the image, with its body partially submerged in the surface of the water and its head and neck visible. Its wings are spread out, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. The water is calm and still, and the swan's reflection can be seen on the surface. The background is completely black, making the white swan stand out even more.
