In the darkness of night they moved slowly towards the unknown, not noticing the eyes watching them. Ok, that sounds like a plot haha.., this shot looked cool to me with water and the background being dark like it is now, rather than the original shot. What do you say friends ?
Thanks Everyone for the wonderful comments on my earlier pics over the weekend. I was away golfing on the weekend, and i promise to catch up with all you very soon.
Hope you all had a great weekend, its monday again. :-) Cheers and wish you all a great week ahead!!!!

@Celialee: Thanks pal, its kinda become a convention to shoot the swans or any floating animal in pair of three, and i decided to get one such shot too. ;-)
The darkness of the water makes the birds look like snow queens on ice, fantastic shot Rahul.

The golf was fantastic, and its getting better. I am deciding now if i should take a little time off from photography and concentrate back on my golf. This year i didnt take part in tournament, as i was not playing much, but next year i plan to hit all of them. ;-)

@MaryB: Nah, wont give up photography, just time to give a little more attention on my GOLF over the weekends, since i have plan to hit all the tournaments next year. Now is the time to start practicing and hitting the course more often. :) And what makes you think i wont be here to check out on you pal. ;-)
Excellent for all the same reasons as the next day's image. (I'm going backwards in time for these photos of yours that I've somehow missed.)
