A touch of white

This is a 1/3 crop from the larger image. I decided to post this one

to the "Fine art"-folder, even though this might also belong to the

"Birds" or the "Nature"-folder. Would you like to share your opinion

from this one, or from any other image in my portfolio? Thank you!

Very nice tones and textures. It does have more of a fine art feel than a bird feel.

As I see more images on this site, I become more and more excited about switching to digital!! I still love the Leicas, but the stuff (like this) I have seen here proves that Black and White can look very fine indeed in Digital format! Great composition! Harv

Definately fine art. This is a lovely capture - original and nicely composed.

Breathtaking! Just what can I say! it looks like someone almost painted it! You couldn't get it better than this. Almost like a china pattern. This is amazing as the shadows and the snow are perfect. I can't believe you caught this PERFECTLY with the right click and the right timing. SCRATCH THAT. YOU ARE THE MASTER. I CAN BELIEVE YOU CAUGHT IT.

 

I ♥ it! 7/7 for you! Wonderful! ~ micki

Love those white like hills against the white swan Dear Alpo :)

Excellent composition, beautiful B&W Alpo! Best regards, Catalin

I was running short on time & almost didn't stop, I'm so glad I did!! WONDERFUL shot, Alpo!!!

Beautiful....great capture...

stunning capture,I like your b&w conversion

This is amazing, I love it. I tried to capture some images of swans in a thawing river, they didn't compare to this. You have done some wonderful work, congratulations and best wishes.

so white! almost like a dream. the bird is just like from a dream, fanciful look in its eyes. i once had this kind of moment in a countryside few years ago. sun was coming up and i was sitting in a door step...

I love the highkey effect you used on this image.

how much of aesthetics! Cheers!

Great shot..very nice angle and composition...

Perfect composition!

the delicate touch of talent. masterful control of whites (something i struggle with). there is no way in my mind that this could be any better. the soft curves of the snow compliment the curves of the swan and the seperation of capturing the bird still in shadow to make it stand against the sunny bank is the only way you could have pulled this shot off. the direction of the head and the flow of the water are in harmony as well. bravo my friend. best regards, J.K.

and one of mine as well.... I do love this...soo pure

Very nice composition and b/w tones. Regards Vassilis.

Great Great Great!!!
