Two Swans a Swimming

Findhorn Bay, Moray, Scotland.

Findhorn has some of the most beautiful summer sunsets and this one was certainly not a disappointment. I noticed two swans cruising about on the estuary and thought that they would make a lovely subject even at this distance to conterbalance the setting sun. I made sure that my hutter speed was reasonably high to offset any movement from the swans. It meant compromising some depth of field, though on this occasion the dilemma was not really apparent.
