Dancing In ItchyKooPark & Repost

As night falls and the sky slides from muted shades of peach & purple into darkness, this little lady dances to her own inner melody. Her 'swan song' and her itchy foot makes for a klutzy dance that was fun to watch!

Nice action pose and background. Generally, I like reflections, but in this case I don't think it adds much as it is rather dark and you might consider cropping to remove it. This would put more attention on the action of the swan.

I think the concept is good. Nice raised foot pose. The image as posted feels very dark. The reflection doesn't really add to the image for me, rather distracts. Maybe lighter, or maybe cropped.

Here is the crop suggested by both commenters so far. I hope it meets your expectations.

What a striking image Lori. A little more brightness would help I think

A wonderful pose, Lori. To my eye, the swan looks like it could use more exposure and I don't think the reflection adds much. You might look at cropping it somewhere in the little mound the swan is standing on. The soft bg light is beautiful. Oops. Just saw the repost. It looks excellent.
