So close they almost seem like one. One of my favorite childhood memories was going to this lake to see the swans so when we went back to visit I couldn't wait to see them again.

What a beautiful shot, Hilda, so nicely composed. The gently fallen leaves on the water with the pair of swans, heads together, is priceless.

They are always so graceful and these two make an identical pair. I can imagine your excitement when you came to this lake as a child and now there are still swans. A beautiful capture.

Sweet picture with the two of them perfectly mirrored in posture ... snow white in the dark shadow of the overhanging trees ... very nicely composed. Enjoyed viewing this one Hilda ... THANKS!

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

This is great Hilda. You know what I found out the other day (well it might not be true) - the heart shape comes from the shape the necks of mating swans make when they're beak to beak. This shot is soooo romantic, you did great to spot and shoot it.

Excellent capture. They are perfectly in sync and beautiful. The subject offset leaves plenty of lead room in the shot and plenty of space to give all that beauty room to bloom. Great job Hilda.
