Another from two weeks ago. I thought the heart shape fit the occasion well.

Wow Randy. This is perfect for Valentines Day and for a card.
The whites look good for the most part. The left birds' far wing gets a bit lost in the snow but this is an incredibly difficult exposure to pull off...and you did.
I am intrigued by your settings.Where you set up for flight shots?
I really like this image and the white on whites and the heart shaped necks really are unusual. Well done!

Gail:
The settings were from shooting ducks in flight. I was walking away when I heard a squabble, this pair was chasing off another pair. After that, they nuzzled for a few seconds, so no time to change settings. Worked out OK.

Lovely interaction. Love the heart shape made by the swans' necks. I think I'd crop just a tad from the right.

I like the interaction and all the white. I tend to be drawn to images with lots of color, this one holds its own with a limited palette because of the action and detail.

Almost the perfect heart pose Randy, { you ol' romantic you hehehehe} .....despite the very white subjects and surrounds the outline of the birds is still distinct so I feel the whites are well handled
