A nice white on white nature scene, Jim! I love the sharp detail in both the Trumpeter Swans and the background snow. The only critique I have is that it’s too bad you didn’t catch them flying into the frame instead of out of it. If you haven’t cropped it already you might be able to get a close up version that puts the last swan near the right edge.
Jim, the swans stand out well against the sunlit ridge. I also like the variety of blues in the shadows and the sloping ridge lines. The birds position in the frame has me thinking about what got them flying or where are they heading.
