watch out for the contest police! they will say there is not enough white. that's why I have stayed out of the blind contest this year..wink. wish ya luck though.. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of the swans in the water is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

My favorite birds as they are so graceful and glide so smoothly on the water.What A lovely image you have here. The reflection is awesome, the water is not to rippled and the birds look so calm. Wonderful focus and well framed, very well done!! Merry Christmas

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
a beautiful picture of the pair of Mute Swans swimming side by side their reflections seen on the mirror still water the soft light hi lighting the head & neck of the swan in front. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from nikman
Quite a bit of white in this one! Nice composure here in this posting of two parallel swimming swans. The available light has not been kind to you here but your exposure makes the best of it. Your image is also sharp and subtle. Well done and good luck!

Painterly, mmmm, really nice.
AND two of em. Time to put up a contest called TWO.....stayed tuned.

Dearheart, I do believe a touch more exposure would benefit this painterly upload...it would make the white white and not gray.

I dedicate the next contest to you.
