I feel cold
this shot has a very cold feeling to it - great! Its relaly making me feel wintery just looking at it, and yet there is no obvious snow or ice - more effective for that lack IMO

Very sharp, lovely background blur!
This one made me think "Hallo Swan!" immediately. There's an instant "relationship" there. But I also like Overread's observations (and now wish his had been mine originally

:greenpbl: ). I'm fascinated by that patch of purple on his beak (not Overread's ... the SWAN's!!! Of course! :roll: :biggrin:

)

Exactly! Makes it feel like a cold, rufled swan in a winter lake. I love this shot - I think it's the first I've seen that has evoked such a powerful cold feeling in me. Amazing.
