4 ever

I once did hear a story (and I know it is the truth) about swans, they

always are commited to each other, for life.....they are a team/in love,

and I hope you can see it in this picture.... but what I wanted to say to

you is that some years ago a female did get ill, she was in an

ambulance, the male did follow her to the hospital, flying above the

ambulance...perhaps a crazy story... but life is redicilous ....comments

are very welcome

Less black space with the same off center crop would bring more attention to the story of the photo.

I like this image very much and what it represents (Love, which makes the world go round.). Have a very Happy, Healthy, and much Love/Loved New Year.

Very nice shot, congrats !!!

Strikes me as a nice pattern for a set of dishes.

and that is truly Not Bad and Elegant in the least, however I can't see it as emblematic of the bond pairing of swans, who are one of many bond pairs in wildlife. Nonetheless, more of a frieze on a wall paper design as you have framed it rather than a slice of natura biologicall life. We can accept it without metaphor and your interprettion which perhaps is a little bit forcing the interpretation,so i feel today. So Someone Else, whoever you be, swans are swans even when they float in space.

Another idea: Shade the background in lighter and lighter shades moving up to light gray at top..might work even better and add dimension and depth. i still like it, do not misunderstand. Let it stand without interpretation is best, doesn't necessarily oversell your personal vision, methinks. But it is your absolute right to do so I aver...I wish you well,truly gs

Beautifull composition. I like the way you made them abstract from any surroundings

I am sure it is absolutely true what you said about swans (Reiner even declared as a rule: never take pictures of lonely swans ;-). Apart from the story it is a delightful picture, carefully composed and framed. Warm hugs to winterwonderland Zakopane!

yes I did , that faithful true in swan love

 

Beautiful work with an emotional story, well done, Els!

I am very happy with your 'learning' 'beautifull' comments, thanks for taking the time, and I wish I had them like you did DP... I was even thinking about it when I did take this picture, this was the closest I did get with a heart...

... and you shouldnt miss to listen to the suitable classical work, Krakowiak by Chopin.

The symmetrcial swans in the stream or lake speak stronger to the pair bond. A good sample to emulate..gs

I am glad someone likes the heart shape. No arguments. A Hallmark card effect. And Hallmark cards have their effect...just a little bit much in the sugary part of nature. A Disney moment. I wasn't looking for metaphor so much as a wildlife moment of truth. Different approach to nature. Both valid, no doubt. I am a real neutral when it comes to the metaphorical meaning...so sorry if I offend...I wish you well, ye anonymous shooters- displayers Hot fudge sundaes have their place, with cherries on top...if in moderation. gs

Lovely image with beautiful composition!

 

I like your new bio picture in snow too, Els!

I like the asymmetry and off-beat framing. It's a stronger and more interesting statement than a dead center one (although I like Daily's shot a lot).

Mister Honolulu, thanks for you 3 comments, and it is hard to offend me, so don't you worry

 

DP, thanks for the music also, and ofcourse I know Chopin, I even loooove his music, Rycho always say to me I have a chopin nose ;)))) and we have also been in Antonowek, Poland in 2006, where Chopin did spend his holidays, like we did at that time, I cannot find the picture of it, but I will look for it, and will send this later

 

Thank you so much Brad Kim, and I am happy you like my new bio, the one before was still in summer at the sea, so this was more appropriate for the moment

 

Thanks Jeff Long for visit and comment

True Love is rare and precious,Els. I like the composition,contrast and caption.

Dear Amal, I know, I know, but happy me, I've found it.....

The caption . . .The composition in B/W . . .The framing . . .all represents that 4 letter word L O V E.

For you . . . .L o v e 4 E v e r.
