    Very moody. I really love the colours. I would have liked to see more of the second black swan though.

    Cheers,
    Frank

    Yoyo, I love the mood of this image. So soft, warm and relaxing. I would suggest cropping the second black swan out of the picture tho. If it wasn't cut off, I would say leave it, but as it is only half of the bird, I find it distracting. A very nice image! Way to go. I would love to know the details of this shot. Camera, lens, settings, post processing etc...

    I like the dreamy feel in this shot but agree that 4W &1B or even 3W and 1B would be stronger.

    Great shot yoyo. As others have pointed out, the 3 white ones and one black would create a great crop. Also, the 'dreamy' and mystical feel to this picture is very nice, with the soft focusing and everything.

    Great shot,

    Jared

    Hi Frank, Thanks for the comments.

    Hi Michael, Thanks for the comments. The shot eas taken with an EOS 1V with a 70-200 mm lens. The film was Fuji Provia. I do not recall the setiings as it was taken a while ago. I used the Pastel filter in nik Color Efex to obtain the moddy effect.

    Hi Chunk and Jared, Thanks for the helpful suggestions on the composition.

    All the best.
