| Very much like peaking into a fairytale. The house, the clouds, the swans, the sea embracing the shore, all very magical. |

 Jedusi said it all so much better than i could! I'm in 2 minds about the border I agree with he said but also I like the feeling that I am looking out a train window! |

Heh. Funny - I have an image "Fairy Wings", Kelli has one called "Fairy Dust", and now yours named "Fairytale".
Very beautiful - it feels to me like I'm looking into this scene from another time/dimension.

| Lovely scene and capturing the flock half there, half in flight was perfect timing! Love those departing water splashes made from their feet. |

she dreamed of the swans
she had met that day
when the north winds blew
and the clouds sky played
was it a dream
or a fairy tale
as her thoughts went back
her skin grew pale
take me back
she begged to the cold
it was the place
where her heart felt whole

At first glance I am struck by the lovely deep colours in this - but as you look deeper there is so much going on. First you have the birds on the right swimming serenely then as you travel across the page (right to left) there is increasing action and motion blur, then you notice that the bird on the extrmeme left has left a trail of splashes in the water where he has run to build up speed !
As if that is not enough there is a lovely symetry between the blue and white of the water and snow on the ground, reflected by the sky and clouds.
Still not enough to get your attention ? Well how about the nice layering with a foreground consisting of the water and birds, the middle ground having an abandoned farm building, and that lovely sky making up the background ?
Maybe you prefer shapes ? ok - how about the circular island the birds are on, the square block of the farm and the strip of land seperating the water and sky ?
Really cool shot. My only question is whether the top and bottom borders are a little too heavy ? There are so many delicate elements in the picture that I wonder whether reducing this one element might balance it better ?
Great shot though.
edit for spelling
