Good idea and smart vignette. I would have been tempted to leave the beak orange (though they woulda hated that!)

This would have worked for the vanishing point challenge too! ;-) What is the main subject being framed? The cobble stone path? I think the light in the foreground is distracting and I wonder what the image would look like if that had been cropped out?

Really like the crispness and shadows on this but didn't feel it isolated or accentuated a particular subject.

Love the processing, Tome. Wonder how this would look without the head in its entirety.

Way under-appreciated.

This is the type of image I'd hoped to see in this challenge -- the artful truncation or eclipse that yields new insight into the subject and the novel distillation of form and rhythm. Here we are compelled to consider the elegant, creamy, complicated structure of the swan's upraised wing and the abstracted curve of its slender neck. They are lovingly set off by the pattern of the darker background water. Just wonderful.

A bold move to cut off the bird's head. I like it as an abstract, but that choice about the head is distracting me. Do *you* like it?

You left off the 'y' at the end. *grin*
