 I wondered how a black swan would look in negative, pretty cool as it turns out.

Cropped, inverted, resized, usm once at 30% 0.9, saved for web.

Don't know what score to expect from this one, I love it but that usually means it will score low.

Called that one right. Ah well.

I like the effect but is also give ,e a ghostly effect, and a like sinister the way that eye is looking at you..... I do like the colors and the softness very much.....

I like the idea of a black swan reversed and agree Eyesup about the sawn appearing to look back which I like. I really like the idea and the framing I just wish the feathers did not have such such a dirty look to them.

don't you hate when you don't get any comments :)for me I actually like the shot and it looks like most did too.... remember that round here a five shot would likely be much higher anywhere else... so don't feel too bad about that.

composition wise I'm not sure why but it feels like the swan is staring right at me and thats a little creepy :) other than that I actually think you did a good job, DoF is perfect and the other technicals are right on too... nice work
