The swan simply glows on this wonderfully surreal scene. It does justice to the classic ballet. A splendid image and work. :)

Mick, was the swan originally in the photo? Looks like the light is coming from a different direction on it than the rest of the picture.

Whenever I glance over at this I feel like I'm going into a dreamscape. It's very lovely, and I don't think I'm in the minority in saying so *peers up at all the great comments above*

OHHh...the slight alterations make this a gorgeous piece. What amazing colors dancing across the sky. The mellow oranges are soothing, and help to outline the landscape and feature the swan. Beautifully done :)

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

I know that I typically think of swans with 'cool' colors, so this one caught me off guard. I might have liked the shot to have lowered a bit, but its still great
