MN has had a few days of snow, so I headed down to the Mississippi during one of our snowfalls to photograph waterfowl! My objective was ducks and geese, but when these two Trumpeter Swans came down the river the photo op was to good to pass up!

I really like this composition. Good symmetry as well as separation of the wings. I think the snow fall captured adds nicely as background and story too.
