Very dramatic view, Carol- I really like the strong contrasts and vivid colors. Makes me think of a block print. Your sense of composition and drama shines here! Would make a great large print/wall hanging!

Ooh, you’re getting close to us - next step Welney!? The Whoopers are coming over already.

Lovely composition here and an oddly 3D effect as a bonus. I love the symmetrical wing positions.

What an imposing, dynamic image, Carol. I love the composition with those long elegant necks in the horizontal format – such classic leading lines into the image. And the low perspective, just off the water, is the perfect way to inject the swan's natural habitat into the scene. Attractive painting with Topaz too. A beautiful piece of art, Carol. :)
