Self Portrait in Light

I'm not seeing how this photograph fits into the 'grace' challenge... There is a bit too much light for my taste, although I know that was the intention. The composition is good for a self-portrait.

lol - a great idea for this challenge. I just wish the image were a bit bigger and more in focus.

I'm sorry - I just don't see what this is a picture of.

A beautiful swan - I like your composition - My only 2 wishes would be to see more detail of the back and more of the reflection. Photographing white subjects in sunlight is difficult though. Nice job. :-)

Growing Old Gracefully...

An idea very well executed - the composition is definately a strong point. I like the use of black and white. There are some slight distractions with a few small bright spots throughout the image, but without spot editing, this would be hard to remove.

Swans are incredibly beautiful and graceful. There seems to a bit too much light on the back, it gets a little washed out. I wish there weren't a shadow across her face. Nicely composed.

This is an excellent image - I love everything about it. The color, composition, reflection through the glass. Wow - I hope to someday produce images at a portion of how terrific this one is! The only thing that bugs me is the little spot of lighting near the top, but I didn't notice it until after 3 times of going back to this image.
