 Sailing swan a way from heart.
If I understand this challenge right, it is ok to cut edit the picture. If not then :-(

Great idea and as eschelar suggested, nice decoys ;-)

Hey, I just thought I'd say that I was impressed by the number of subliminal hearts that showed up in this pic. I think I saw at least 5 or 6 extra hearts in the water.

I like how you used that single swan to really give the feeling that the processing wasn't necessarily so extreme.

Comp is great. However, I wish it were sharper.

Your photo is a bit on the blue side for me. I wish the swans were more white, but I like the creativity you show of shaping them into a heart.

This is a really nice image that you flipped to make the effect. I would have liked to see you use the eraser to take the blue tint off of all the swans to make them not Blue. Good idea though.
