I have an odd and an even picture from this past weekend - all swans, all the time.

Neck and neck
Neck and neck, retouched

The original photo actually had a fourth swan lazily bobbing about, but it didn't add anything to the composition, so I cloned it out. I also cropped the picture down slightly and mirror-imaged it so the swans were run-flying left to right.

I'mma gonna git you, suckah!

I tried mirror-imaging this one too, but it looked kinda funny to me - not sure if it's just because I'm already familiar with the picture in its original form, so I left it as taken. I think the even number works here because the 2 swans fall more or less on the vertical thirds lines.

Okay be gentle...this is one of my first attempts at actually setting up a shot and not being totally spur of the moment.

Odd or Even? Not sure, I'd have to take my shoes off to count that high.
