Outstanding Muddy!

Cheers Pimp.

Great shot Muddy

Thanks Johnboy68.

How could I miss this photo? It is absolutely unique. It looks more like painting then a photo.

Thank you Katarina. You can understand how these birds and other wildfowl inspired Sir Peter Scott to paint.

I do not know Sir Peter Scott. But I know swans :)

This photo was taken at a nature reserve developed by Peter Scott in Lancashire, England. Whooper Swans, Geese and Ducks come to spend the Winter here in their thousands. A wonderful experience to see and hear.

What amazing photos you take..been having a look! :)

Thanks Pixi

YVW!

Looks like the graphics artist Escher's flying bird art. Same artist who does the staircases going nowhere. Wonderful picture.

Yes! he is brilliant!

Thanks Dorjac. Agree with you Pixi.
