Comment from Monica Morrell
Well this is very interesting and beautifully captured.
Isn't it funny how nature works itself out?
I love how the swans are hiding their heads against the rippling waters.
I am curious as to the rest of their story.
I wish they could talk.
Nice find. Well done.

Comment from MKFlood
Cats like them huh? Didn't realize it. Cool capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of these swans with head under water is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

An interesting genetic phenomenon. I thought that in most cases the darker pigment tended to predominate. A very fine shot with great composition and excellent colors.

Fred,
An interesting picture of this pair of "Headless" Swans one white Mute The other a grey
Black-Mute swimming head to head as they bottom feed of the bed of the lake near your home in Paris. their movement causing circular ripples on the lakes surface that is also reflecting the blue sky above. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
