Hehe.
“What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

Actually I hate putting names or titles. But those are the rules  :(

I find the low-key effect here quite effective. I would certainly be tempted to brighten the swans some, but nothing else.

As for names, notice that Russ Lewis calls many of his images "Untitled."   ;)

I thought of that, yes. And my wife would have liked that better.
I wanted to preserve the gloomy mood. But I'll  take another look  :)

"Untitled" seems to be a title too

I was afraid Russ would accuse me of "plagiarism"   ;)

Yes the 'night' mood is very effective.
