As a picture, I really like the simple contrast of the blue and green. As a stature, this is particularly disturbing (not in a bad way, but in a thought provoking way) and I would like to know more about it.

COMPOSITION
The composition of this is very strong. The placement of the swan gives an excellent focal point, and the "swoop" of the paper gives the picture a nice amount of "movement."

TECHNIQUE
You have done the white on white well. It did take me a bit to figure out that the background was a piece of the "before" paper, so it may need a little more contrast. Though I really like the peacefulness of the solid white, I am wondering what it would have looked like if it had been white paper, white swan, on a different colored background. It may have ruined the effect, but it may have helped with the contrast issue. The focus is wonderful, and it is lit well, I think.

OVERALL EFFECT
As stated previously, the white on white is very peaceful, and that is emphasized by the gracefulness of the swan. These elements couple together to give this a very elegant, graceful look. I am truly surprised it didn't score even higher, but some voters may have missed what the paper was in the background.
Good work.

Great symmetry. Did you want the sun in the shot like that, or could you ahve moved some so that it wasn't? Wonderful, simple colors.

It is cool how the tombs in the foreground look like they are swallowed by the earth. Great work at keeping the snow white and not blue!
