About "A swan was there,
Beside a sluggish stream among the reeds.
It rose as he approached, and with strong wings
Scaling the upward sky, bent its bright course
High over the immeasurable main.
His eyes pursued its flight. -- "Thou hast a home,
Beautiful bird; thou voyagest to thine home,
Where thy sweet mate will twine her downy neck
With thine, and welcome thy return with eyes
Bright in the lustre of their own fond joy."

Percy Bysshe Shelley

A very nice Swan image Shirley! Aren't their feathers just perfect for B&W when the light is just right! Great idea to use the Shelly verse in the about. I wish I'd thought of it first :)

You're welcome, Shirley.... and I must say, you are danged good... I'd have gone to the end of the earth saying this was an all-original shot. I mean, you have the ripples seemingly going all through the water, even into the misty part with the branches... excellent!

Best wishes,
Dave

The beauty appears to whom looks for it. In this enchanted place a fairy changed into a swan shows the beauty to you.
Wonderful. I take and try to keep the beauty with me. Thanks Shirley.
Cheers.

Actually, Dave, I DID combine the two photos. I had the shaded water and just felt the swan belonged there. Then I added the selectively layered blur of the new creation. Thank you, Dave!:)

Dave Arnold Dave Arnold   {K:55680} 2/11/2007
Very mystical, Shirley... almost looks like you combined photos in post-processing but my guyess is you didn't. Anyway, I like the soft haziness here, it gives it that "feel" of mysticism.

best,
Dave

Thank you so very much, Cathy.

I selectively layered with a blurred version of the image to which I applied a slight 'glow' effect.

Thank you, Rick!

You might notice that most of my images were taken on film. I don't know about IR filters...are they for the digital cameras? I have a new Nikon D80, but am still just learning to use it.

Rick Page Rick Page   {K:5242} 2/11/2007
Nice dreamlike F/X with the softness on the edges.I noticed that you have no Infrared images in your portfolio. With all the effects I thought you would reach for an infrared filter. Just being curious........your friend...rick

The luminescent lighting lends itself well to the accompanying literature. How do you manage to get such a mgical glow? CC

It's nice to see such image.
Ellegant, rich in details in the center, but having an interesting softened "frame" at the corners.

that's art!
Congrats,
