Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Photo and Digital Art Gallery, week ending 6th January, 2012!Using everyone's suggestions I redid the swan post. One small LRC area in the b and w was not lightened because I couldn't seem to get the colour I liked and it was late last night. I hope these are an improvement and thank you to everyone for your most helpful suggestions! Comments Welcomed.

Loke the top one Jacke- the eye gets a little lost in the B&W IMHO. But either way, I think you've got it, by golly! :wink: Both are wonderful-I approve the improvements!! :) 8)

Thanks for reworking this image Jackie -- I like the motion blur on the snow, which looks more natural. I prefer the image on the bottom -- on my screen, it seems to have more eye detail (maybe even a little more dodge/burn in that area would help.) Nice work!!!

Nice image and application, Jackie.

I'll go with the majority here, though both are nice in their own right.

..........Carol, you are a riot!

I think I sort of like the colour too. Thanks for the help and comments. I still will work on the eye a bit more to get it where it looks a little better. :D

Wonderful shot, perfectly composed- I vote for the first version, IMO the red line of the beak is essential on this picture- My congrats, Fabio
