BTW, I heard on the news that they estimated 85,000 spectators. -- Victor

Traveller,

I usually don't go for this sort of manipulated image. This picture kind of asked for it for some reason. For those curious about the circumstances, the event was yesterday's Red Bull Flugtag human powered flight competition. The event had been going on for about two hours, with, perhaps 30,000 people watching. Suddenly, this swan appeared in the midst of the spectators on the river. There are just a handful of swans on the lake, some black and some white. Obviously, the swan liked the crowd or it wouldn't have appeared after a couple of hours. The effect isn't quite what I was after, but it works for now. I was after something akin to a Monet.

Hi Victor, these kinds of manipulated images are hard to pull off successfully, but this image is weird enough, the swan helps, and this seems to be to be a Baptism...that, at least for me, this works well as art achieved.

Best Wishes, Traveller
