Very nice, but are you sure they're swans? They look more like flamingos to me!

I think those "swans" have been at the vodka, personally. It's where they get that rugged complexion from...

Lovely shot, though.

Just what I was thinking. Mind you with those eyes they could have just smoked a couple of fat ones!!

And yup a great shot!
