Sam,absolutely stunning.The detail is amazing,esp the eye ,I don't know why,but the eye just stands out,the tiny bright blue ,perhaps because it is the only bright colour in the image,very very talented ,you are Sam.
 
Hi Christine, thanks for your comment. I always try to make the eye the soul focus of the bird, and indeed, of the picture. Thanks again:t:
 
The Universal swimmer with the night sky in his plumage,a shake of the feathers and some new born stars will be added,at least i'd like to think so,Sam. ;);
 
So that's how stars are born....i had always wondered, Ove;)
Just as the Earthly Swan's become busy, the Celestial Swan is preparing to rise in our sky's, and gives the best views in Summer. Many thanks for this kind comment my friend:t::t::t:
