Rather nice here with the 4 dancers. I like the colors here with the dancers all looking a wee bit different. The background colors here are very nice also, all colors are soft yet do remain very vibrant. Nice work!

Thank you for your kind and generous review.
The different look of the dancers is symbolic also. Following the story it shows the change from the bird to their human form wile they lose their feathers. There are other differences too. Thats to give them some own individuality in their group.

Hi Cleo I see you made the Black Swan the focal point in this very beautiful rendition of the Ballet. Excellent mixed media presentation.

Comment from sirthomas1960
This is lovely Cleo.
It has a real dream-like quality to it, like the ballerinas are floating through the beautifully rendered water. I like the transluscence of the water you've created, and the use of the feathers to emphasise your concept.
Something bothers me compositionally, but I'm not sure what. I think perhaps it's the raised leg of the black "swan" creating a bit of visual tension where it cuts in front of the swan's tutu behind her. I might have lowered her leg so that it crossed over the leg of the one behind...maybe...can you tell I'm not sure? lol
Still, a very minor point in what is a very successful piece.

Thank you so much four your throuought review and your input. Actually I wanted the attention to the black swan [the beauty with the evil soul]. Down isn't good. It takes that attention away. I had more below first and actually have raised her. But may I didn't move her enough. I have to see is I cold moove her more to the upper right without damaging the triangle. I can't change her position in the group. I need her in front since she is my main subject in this scene, but I can't have her leading the group since she is the intruder.

Very nice, almost a semi-abstract feel to it. Beautiful, fluid, fantastic colors good choices. Everything flows nicely. One of the better pieces I've seen lately.
Thank you, Levon7
