POV is very interesting, nice colors but way too sharp. Needs softening. And frame is not adequate it´s bothersome.

Hi Lurdes,

A wonderful decision to paste the geese in the waterlily pond - it makes for the best possible BG.
I love how the light shines through the wings.

Great capture.

Hello Lurdes

This is a fantastic composition. I agree the original is way too bright with bothering whites. Only comment I have is that you should have kept more of the legs of the swan in front in the picture when extracting the swans. It sort of looks "amputated" as it is now. I have the feeling that I want to push the swans upward a bit LOL! In any cast still a very nice composition. You made the very best of the original photo.

Great pp work and very artistic, Lurdes. You have a pair and the 1st wing spread is full, really nice moment of capture. I like the light beneath the wings, giving sharp outline.

I consider myself lucky then, when I shot this
I believe I can fly

Well done. Happy 2008 to you.

TFS, bill

This is a beautiful shot. When I read the title I thought they told each other "it's now or never... to be together" :)) It's a very nice capture.

Well done!

Ola Lurdes!
You've captured a very interesting moment. The multicolored background enhances the white beauty of the birds. Very good pp!

"It's now or never"
That reminds me to an ancient latin poem, by the celebrated ORAZIO, telling: "CARPE DIEM" that is "catch the day, the moment"
It is so true, so beautiful, so necessary...
TFS
Ciao, Antonella

A lovely creative piece of work Lurdes, the colours of the lilly pond against the white of the birds is beautiful.
