Mute Swans In Love

I took this photo last October. Two mute swans were doing a mating dance, oblivious to me and my obnoxious, clacking camera. I've been waiting to upload it on THIS day ever since! Seemed like forever, and I hoped I wouldn't forget, as my memory is not what it once was. :/ I was going to work on editing yesterday to try to clean them up, but hubby spent the entire day on my computer trying to get our Harmony One remote programmed. :/ So, this is pretty much SOOC (straight out of camera) except for minimal cropping, exposure adjustment, and sharpening. I may try to clean these two lovebirds up another day. 

EDIT UPDATE:  I reworked the photo with a texture overlay from Dubtastic. I'd still like to see what else can be done to help this photo. :)
Happy Valentine's Day!

I don't see a reason to do a thing with this photo, Gail! It's gorgeous just the way it is!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!

I love this as is! It's like something out of a book. Too perfect! But I like that you've challenged your friends to process it differently. Too bad I'm not much of a post processor yet.
