I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.
The balck and white with touches of color really makes an effective image. I wish the swan had turned just a bit to its right, but swans typically don't follow photographers wishes, do they?
I can't imagine how I ever missed this before...that black water with the white swan is marvellous and the few little leaves a perfect touch of color...sure hope this is in the permanent gallery 'cause it belongs there...I'm keepin' it and top marks.:Pat.
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it. -Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring
"Every heart that has beat
strong and cheerfully has left a
hopeful impulse behind it in the
world, and bettered the tradition
of mankind."- Robert Louis Stevenson
