Hi ALL
While out and about i saw these two being very loving to eachother.Doing the "head bobbing" thing .
Then they sort of sat there "holding hands" watching the setting sun

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

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

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
