this swan is magic....:) I didn't manip this as far as the stars... I only center filtered the shot. The twinkling stars were there in my shot....and I think perfect for a little girl named Emma { Asrai's/Dot's daughter} who is having a birthday tomorrow. {Nov 25th}. I am posting a day before her birthday so that she can make wishes on all the little stars. Have a Very Happy Birthday tomorrow, Emma!

A real beauty Terri! It does have a magical feel to it! The swan is gorgeous and the little "stars" are a nice bonus! Did you go to Disney World down there to find him? lol I'm sure Emma will love this! Happy Birthday Emma!! (Hi Dotty!)

It's just perfect, and the "halo" effect you gave it only adds to the magical effect. Other factors I love are the way the swan has its wings spread, the color of the water (doesn't look like mud or algae, and of course the twinling lights in the water. Straight into my favorites.

This is so cool and magical looking Terri! Now, if you could just talk someone into putting some little faeries or dragonflies in here it would be like something right out of a fairytale. Great capture Terri, and Happy Birthday Emma! I hope it's a fun filled day for you!..=)

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with school & life.
