Flight of the swan

A startled swan takes off at night

This is really creative as are your explanations above. It really does express motion as a take-off or coming in. The wings and neck are really nice. The body is a little less so but fine job with what you had to do with.

    Thank you for reviewing. A little disappointed what you think of the body, its modern impressionism in doodle form so it isnt meant to be perfect as part of the overall. But I greatly appreciate your review and support.

    You are greatly welcome. Really love your work with the Scripture. I realized this is a different style and better than I would do in doodle form.

An appealing image that is quite fanciful. I have watched many swans take off and they all run along the surface of the water before they can lift off; I have never seen one fly at night though.

Glad you had fun to create this picture as it is funny and artisitc in color choice and application - a really unusual situation and creation for this contest
Super detailed work with unusual patterns and lines - your bird is in a great position and stands out very nicely - good application of contrast and light - wishing you all the best for the contest

Nice creation. The body form and language is great. The details is good. The depth is great. The shading is good. The blend of the colors is good. The creation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and great job overall.

A very expressive piece of art. You have done a great job creating the feeling of imminent flight. The piece has a somewhat impressionistic look, so it really shines when viewed a slight distance. The color palette works very well. Good luck in the contest.

I like your notes to set up the story of the swan being disturbed by the headlights, I think you did an awesome job of showing the swan rising up out of the water, there is a nice sense of its motion as I view!
Well shown shape of the swan with the lifted wings for take off!
Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
