    Beautiful colours and textures, David. The pastel colours go so well with the delicate plumage. Only wish we could see part of the eye open. Well seen.

    Hi David,

    I love to watch swans preening, so am really enjoying this image. The variation in the colour of the whites is really nice and adds to the 'dreamy' look you have captured.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Gerald

    Very dreamy with lots of nice textures, patterns, and lines to study. Excellent composition with a very intimate feel. I only wish the head and eye area were sharper. Really nicely done overall.

    Very unique and interesting image. I wish the eye were open, then it would have been a superb image.
