Hi Guys,

Here's another from my recent boat trip in one of our national wetland reserves. There where several hundreds of Mute Swans present and it was hard to isolate them but when i saw these two performing this synchronised ballet i was a happy man..

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Hi Jeroen, done very well. I did not succeed in seperating swans from a group.

Amazing!! My only suggestion would be to remove the blue bits of sky.
