		| This image looks too dark. Not cropping the swan's reflections would have helped too. |

		Here's my two cents. :)
 First of all, the image is underexposed. I can understand that perhaps you wanted a low-key type atmosphere, and I really like them myselve, but I'm not sure it's really working here. Also, I would suggest avoiding cropping off the reflection of the birds, and straightening out the "horizon" in the distance the background. This is an ecxellent concept though - good idea! |

		| Very good idea, the effects are great. It should be just a little lighter though. |

		Good concept but a little dull colour wise. I'm sure simple white balance or curves adjustment could have added a lot more vibrant white to the swans and made this a much better shot.  
 I'd also like to see the very end of the tail and have a little space left and maybe some more of the reflection. |

		| Original for sure.  I would like it even more if the 'swans' were, well, whiter! |

		| Cool minimalist idea, however overall too dark. Better lighting would have given this a lot more impact. |

		| Sweet idea. A blue background/surface and a little more light would have made this very special :) |

		| Too dark, but a very nice idea. Lighten it up a bit so the swans stand out more. Perhaps cropping a bit further out so the whole reflection shows, as well. 5 |

		| Nice idea, but you could have done with getting the swans much brighter |

		| I like the swans. For me, if they were "swimming" on a dark blue base to suggest water it would have even greater impact or maybe not cutting off the reflection of the foreground swan. |
