Took this at a local park near my home. Not much for the setup just extreme patience to get a shot of both swan doing the same thing at the same time.
Cloned out a duck in the upper right part of the scene, whitened the swans heads a bit since they were pretty dirty, D/B, Smart Sharpen, Neat Image, added border, cropped, resized and submitted. I hope you like it!
Thinking mid 6's with a dream score of 7.1
YAAAAAAA! My 1st Ribbon!!! Thanks Everyone for all the great scores and comments!

That's a very nice picture, but the title...
My guess is that you are not french, as what comes to the mind of most people regarding "une belle paire" is either nipples or balls ;-)
Hi! I'm going to give you an 9 because of the tail being close to the edge, and the heads are a TIIINY bit dirty. Its really pretty! I hope you win a ribbon. :)
I really like this, the subject matter is a perfect representation of the challenge title. Funnily enough, the way their heads are looking down, they look sort of sad, they might have had a wee fall out!
I think the lighting is a bit too harsh on the main body of the Swans, if this was toned down I think it would improve the shot.
Wow, fantastic look, everything here is perfect. Although maybe a little more space between the tail and the border to even it out would look good, but still a 10 in my opinion.
