How to use this prompt
White birds lose detail in bright fog, so describe the light as 'soft diffused dawn light, gentle highlights on the feathers' and let the background sit a stop darker than the swan. The S-curve of the neck is the classic grace note; ask for 'neck in a graceful S-curve, head slightly bowed.' Weeping willow branches should hang 'in the upper corner, out of focus' and frame the bird, not cover it. Midjourney often adds a second swan; keep 'a single swan' in the prompt. For the wedding variation, describe the pair's necks forming a heart.
Variations to try
- Two swans — pair forming a heart shape with their necks for a wedding print
- Sunset swan — golden backlight turning the feathers amber
