Who is Who
Two Whooper Swans passing each other on a snowy field at Akan, Hokkaido, Japan. What I personally like very much in this shot is the form of there long necks.
If you look at the photo for a while it hard to see who is who :-)

Best regards, Harry

Hoi Harry,

Heb bij de laatste 2 foto's van je niet opgelet , heb ze volkomen gemist.
Dit is een bekend tafereel, altijd mooi om het terug te zien in welke vorm dan ook.
Brengt goede herinneringen boven aan een nu behoorlijk geteisterd gebied.
Misschien toch nog een keertje terug om te kijken hoe het met ze is.

groet, Dennis

The high key effect works perfect here: just enough details to show what's going on but at the same time all this whiteness forces you to look again and again.... Magical!

Alright, Harry, it's good to be neighbours! Absolutely lovely shot, your wildlife pictures have an elegance that I just admire a great deal. Just great.
Harry Eggens  Thank you very much, Ursula.

Being and absolute lover of winter, the cold and scenes, I like to work with snowy BG although sometimes it's quite tough to get exposure right.

Kindest regards, Harry
Ursula I Abresch  Something else: I think the white background does wonders for your pictures! The light on light is fascinating.
