Hi ALL :wavey:

While out and about i saw these two being very loving to eachother.Doing the "head bobbing" thing :biggrin: .

Then they sort of sat there "holding hands" watching the setting sun :cool:

A very nice image-i think swans are one of the few birds that constantly show affection,the dark background sets them off nicely-slight adjustment needed to level off :toast:

Hi Alan

Nicely caught pose, good detail in the whites and the foreground water texture and colour is excellent. The dark background is a little out of balance with the rest of the image but you have still managed a very attractive shot in the circumstances.

cheers

Thanks everyone for your comments :toast:

Dave - By saying "slight adjustment needed to level off".Did you mean having they're heads more central ?(if so click link to see my adjustment).

Sean - The background went dark because i stoped the exposure down -1, because the whites were very bright in the setting sun.

Helge - I also changed the framing which looks better :smile: .Thanks for pointing that out(click link to see adjustment).
