Very clever story telling through these pictures. I like how the swans feel as though the are meant to be there. Nice arrangement to the imported images, they pull the composition together.

    Thank you so much. Actually it;s part of an story book I'm working on. A human steps into fantasy land. A modern Alice.

What vibrant wonderful colors. I love the lilly on the pad in the background. Really interesting composition and very imaginative. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from David Ruhl


This is very nice MM work.

Excellent composition and presentation. I love the color and clarity of the water.

The lady really does appear to be looking right at the swans.

    Thank you so much, Actually the lady was looking at the fish in the cenote but it came just right for my MM.

First I am always grateful when reviewing your offerings for I do believe you provide excellent detail in the Artist Notes section: they are educationally informative.

I like the overall color harmony and silhouette application of the swans. Just an interesting combination, a surrealistic/dreamlike quality.

Comment from KarenMartin


This is a very clever and imaginative work. Very creative. The photo parts are focused and sharp and the added swans, flowers and butterflies very good.
I love the swans and the heart shape they make.
Excellent work.

Comment from artragist


Nice to see a happy ending in love! I really like the little charm that is hung on the swans and the cute, fanciful bits incorporated all over in this piece. The design draws the viewer in, mimicing the attention of the human figure toward the swans. Maybe they will inspire her to find a true love of her own, and maybe that is what fascinates her. A lovely incorporation of the real with the surreal and very interesting to view.
Nice work!

    Thank you so very much Sarah, the little charm is the same as in the previous picture but now the swan princess was stuck by cupids arrow and do not longer resists. Did you see her big bubble, some called it the biggest diamond on earth swimming away or did I put it to far in the background?

Comment from moomammie


a wonderful photo. the black swans frame a nice heart shape and the water is very inviting. i would of really liked to of seen this picture without the person in it. and still positioned as it is. for me the person takes some of the romance that i am wanting to focus on away. great job.

    Thank you for your generous review. Sorry to disappoint you but I can't delete her. the person. She is a main character from my story, the human who worked into the fairytale world, similar to Alice in wonderland. Maybe the picture works only as part of the whole story not by itself.
