Oh they are...swans always look so graceful and elegant...I do love that they're framed by a neutral background that has some texture with the reeds.

You've captured a wonderful image here, the background works so well against the swans colouring. The only thing i can see which would have made this image better is the direction of light, but thats just my opinion

Who wouldn't.. When taking outdoor photos the lighting isn't so easy to control.. especially with animals when your subject is usually moving and getting close might be impossible..

That's gorgeous. The composition and lighting are superb and the warm tones of the pic work delightfully with the cold snow. Nice to see an ice-scape that isn't blue...

Very beautiful. I love how the yellow in their beaks stand out. Is it normal in Finland to have random sticks poking out of the ground like that? It's really cool!

Haha, you just made my day with that comment, thank you
'Random sticks', eh? Well, that same place will look very different when all the snow melts

They certainly are. Very beautiful. I like all of the jagged debris in the background. It makes them seem even more delicate and graceful. Very nice.
