Oh Bother!.... forgot about the 'blue shirt'... Oh Michael... you have such a keen eye.. NOTHING gets past you! I tried stuffing the swan into the clothes but it kept on pecking me so I settled for a composite.

Thanks for commenting guys.... I still have my thinking cap on! ~ Regards Melbob

LOL, I knew right away that this was a composite because no well-dressed black swan would ever wear a blue shirt. Fun stuff, Bob. -Michael

Sorry about that Trav... just goes to show... 'two great minds think alike'... lol.

With all them thar legless feet in boots, one has to think laterally? It is a challenge to post with something original isn't it?

Thanks for your comments, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. ~ Regards Bob

LOL! And I've just come back from shooting oodles of swan pics...it was great fun to get out, met some nice people, let them take pictures with my camera and....on the way back home, I stopped off at an out door coffee shop, sat in the patio....and did some serious work.

Sometimes I don't have a clue what I am doing and so I have to stop and...take a real long look. But, 6pm to 8pm this day has been very, very successful for me.

Except for one thing....I come back home and see that the genius of Melbob has stolen my idea.....lol

This is great, truly.

Mr. Puff don't know nothin` bout surrealism....(grin)

Best Wishes, Traveller
