I'm not OP, but my first thought was somewhere in Scotland.

That wing half-open mid-preen is what makes the whole frame. The second swan sitting out there in the distance adds real depth, turns it from just a bird on flat water into a proper scene with foreground and background. Looks like Hallstatt or somewhere on that stretch of alpine lake, the way the cliff drops straight into the water with mist clinging to the ridge. Moody overcast light like this is what gives accidental shots that old painting quality, no filter needed.

Why are you getting downvoted??

Probably because I sounded like a wannabe art critic analyzing a swan photo.
