My last attempt was of small closeup images. @Tomas_Frydrych Frydrych pointed out I had enough treescapes for an additional project. This project continues my Blackwater goals of showing the beauty of wetlands. ## Self Critique In the past 50 years, I always looked at my art as something to hang on a wall. I would pick the best image from an assignment and only print that. When I started my mission to make folks see the beauty of swamps I thought projects would do the job better. With your help, I want to learn how to use a group of images to tell a story. ## Creative Direction To tell a story ## Specific Feedback Looking for help with curating and sequencing images. Does the cover draw a viewer in? Are some of the alternates better? ## Intent of the project Magazine Submission ## Alternate Images Please provide feedback on whether any of these images would fit more cohesively in the project. ![Alternate 1](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/6/0/600b658e241dec23cde5f871ae5d24027849f661.jpeg) **Alternate Image 1** ![Alternate 2](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/e/1/e1cea590a886ab604564c43f72327a9213391775.jpeg) **Alternate Image 2** ![Alternate 3](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/2/b/2b10a24f825b88c691321bcaee32a62fddb0d4d3.jpeg) **Alternate Image 3** ![Alternate 4](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/c/3/c38d8d8cf147a0b58ad6196f5ea6aa0246af1478.jpeg) **Alternate Image 4** ![Alternate 5](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/c/6/c6524bc1837a65b3730dd7475d9c3cc80c5e5d3a.jpeg) **Alternate Image 5** ---

This is a project of exceptional quality. Each image is great in and of itself. Now the question is whether they group well together. I need some time with you this. Image #11 really stands out from the rest. I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or not. There are certainly alternates that could take its place. But maybe a surprise like that is a good thing. Rather than being out of place it could energize the viewer. The alternates are really good as well. I like both the first and especially the 2nd alternative. Considering its quality I’m surprised this project has gone unnoticed here at NPN. ---

> [@Igor\_Doncov](#): > > Considering its quality I’m surprised this project has gone unnoticed here at NPN. I saw it when it was posted, and intended to come back to it. Thanks for bumping it back to the top, Igor. It is a wonderful series. I love the subdued mood of most of the images. As Igor noted, #11 stands out as different because of the bright colors. It doesn’t have the same mood as all the others. Likewise, Alternative #3 doesn’t feel the same either, for the same reason. Alternate #2 is a striking image, but it doesn’t seem to fit with the rest because it’s so graphic. Alternate #5 also has a different mood to me. It’s a different part of the “story”, but it feels out of place. The rest of the alternates could fit. The title page, in b&w, also feels out of place because all the images are in color. Seems like the title page should give the viewer a peek what’s inside.
