This pair went through a series of elaborate courtship movements yesterday at the local bird sanctuary. These are free ranging birds.
Despite being quite cantankerous at times, they can be very affectionate and loving as well.

Post: minor crop, selective sharpening, removed another swan from the foreground, smoothed a cluttered background
Advice and comments always appreciated.
As soon as I opened this file, I knew it had to be B&W
The dark coloration on the head and necks comes from feeding activity, and I also suspect the front bird hasn't completely lost some of its juvi coloration
Cheers
Randy
