The swans were interrupted in the early morning of March 15 by me and they began to leave the pond. They were unhurt when I shot. The abandoned farm in the background is called Sjónarhóll. The photo was taken at sunrise when the first rays of the sun added a tiny light on the frosen snowy ground.

Nice cool blue hues; it really enforces in me a the sense of frigid chill that is in the air. I cannot tell what those elegant white birds are; geese or perhaps swans. I like the capture but wish we could get closer to the action. Bring us closer to the action; have us get up close and personal. Your audience can then also appreciate more details of your main subject - the birds taking flight. This is a above average shot but if you bring us closer to your subject it would move into the spectacular category.
