Beautifully done 3d Loyd
Michael - clever - perhaps the swans could be a little slower passing through
Mariner - agree with David's remarks above - clever

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

Following David's suggestion, I have created a static. On a pedantic note though, my swans were well under construction when Mariner put his version up.



Here is my third version (static):

Number of entries, an alternate perspective: For 2022 I have started a self-imposed limit of weekly entries to seven. A normal challenge is a week long, since this challenge is three weeks long (7 x 3 = 21), I still have twelve to go.

I think this works really well. I found the animated swans on static water rather disturbing.

This is actually on brief.

Without going into details, it's taken me, technically, in entirely new uncharted directions. Lots of learning.

Tom and Frank I have been trying earnestly to avoid any reference to disturbing reality. Both pieces very well done though.

On brief again. Michael and Michael this is completely derivative .............. but thanks for the idea.

I take it by that you mean the base "2" shaped swan? Not what I did to it?

There's dozens of different one's to choose from as the swan is naturally "2" shaped.

Yes. I thought "that must have taken him hours, I'll just check the net". Your glass swan was the first to appear. Good idea though, and still hard to get right. My own idea (later) has taken me three days, and it still isn't very good. Oh well.
