Apparently we have white swans in New Zealand but I have not seen any in my part of the woods. What a rare sight to see one flying, let alone two together and when it happens, by the time I fumble around with my camera settings the moment has gone so I can appreciate how difficult it is to get a shot like this. Excellent capture Ellen and great timing. #8074730

Kiki chose the perfect phrase, Ellen: "Talk about timing and synchronicity!"
One of the best stop-motion captures of waterfowl I've seen on the site!
Add to that the glowing white and the reflections, and I believe we have a WINNER for next month!

Ellen- Added to my favorites as I whole heartedly agree with everything that Mary said. The title certainly saids what I feel about the picture. It is stunning in the way you timed it prefectly as these two gorgeous birds take off. I love the water dripping off them. For an action shot, you showed your skills with a camera in that everything is perfect in sharpness and intricate details. Beautiful colors, the lighting and clairty so superb.
Amazing and beautiful work my friend.
You have a wonderful evening, a beautiful tomorrow, take care. #8080779
