The Wild Swans

Sibling
Silenced, bloodied
Fawning, flapping, fraying
Fools gather in condemnation

Sweet weave of organic and geometric balance. Symbols that speak beyond words to describe it like moody and soulful. Well played like a melody. I'm feeling that textural layered passage of time and tail, spelling pun intended. Lol Plus an odd flash on Vermeer's women, window and light....

Intense and so effective. The story of the wild swans has always moved me and this, as metaphor, intensifies the feeling. A beautiful textbook use of the golden mean (rule of thirds) reinforces the impact of the story in human terms. The palette, which is your usual choice, is perfect for the composition and content. (Remember, my 3 rules for creating an image: Composition, Color, and Content.)

This is a chilling image - but then I love images with a story or message. and this has a strong one. I love the texture and overlay effects - really the best.

This just gives me chills and goose bumps. Powerful especially along with the poem. Are Cinquains giving you ideas for a new book? And five images for the site! That tops it all. --skunk
