Look at you finding birds to Photograph! My Swan couple tried twice. Each time the eggs never hatched. :(
Nice low angle, fine clarity and nice white balance control.
What a great find and Capture Sweet Helvi.
Wildlife is amazing to study and Photograph.

These guys are so cute!! Just adorable how they are huddled together, each doing their own thing. The color of the water and the fuzziness of the birds looks great.

This is an intriguing photo. The youngsters are adorable. The little bodies and the down-feathers have nice detail. The colors are realistic. The tight framing works. Did you crop mom or dad off or where they all by themselves? Usually one of the parents is close by.
Be careful. Swan parents protect their young vigorously.

Hi Cleo, I do have pictures of the whole gang together, but I wanted to have some of just these little guys too. I;m always careful when taking pictures like this becuse I don't want to upset the parents or the cygnets. I also don't want to lose the moment either. Moments lie this are precious! Thanks for thinking about my safety! :o) Thank you also for the wonderful review!

Comment from nature rules
I love this capture.. and your story. And yes...I say you should feel lucky to find the cygnets. And your capture is excellent. Your light and shadows are not over exposed..but warm and natural. You have depicted the true color ad the textures with no over saturation in whites or your blues. Beautiful.
I mostly am just enjoying imagining how you felt when you caught this capture....and then how you felt when you loaded it on your pc and saw that is was really good! Eyes, beaks, down...all perfection. I love the evaluative metering being below zero.
Your cropping is good...but I think I would keep just a bit more sky above their heads...if you had it there.. A complete pleasure to view! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Becky, I can't even explain how a review from someone you admire, who thinks you did a good job capturing a shot means. I was thrilled to come across these guys and couldn't wait to get home to download them on the pc! I think you know what that feeling is like, especially when you get a good shot. Thank you SO MUCH the wonderful review My Friend! :o) Nancy

You are most welcome, Nancy. And yes... I understand completely being anxious to get back to my pc with my camera card! You nailed this one! LOVE IT!!

Becky, Just had to send you a row of smiles... :o)... :o) .... :o) ... :o) ... :o) .. :o)

Lovely capture of these gorgeous little cygnets resting by the water. They look as if they're having a conversation! Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

Hi Suzzane, I like your thoughts about the cygnets having a conversation. They probably were wondering what the heck is that human doing! LOL Thanks SO Much for the wonderful review. :o) Helvi

Very nice photo. The composition is nice and I like the natural colors and tones. Very soft and inviting. The focus is great not only on the birds but on the dirt and sticks. It adds so much texture to the piece, great work!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
These cygnets look so soft and downy that you just want to cuddle them...that is until mom gets wind that you are going near them. What fun it must be to visit and monitor their progression to adulthood.

Comment from michiganmike
A nice, tightly cropped, shot of this half dozen cygnets. It would be nice if they were in the water instead of sitting in the dirt. Very good detail in the youngsters and nice colors.

Was your cute and cuddly shot taken in Winchester, England? Your composition is very appropriate. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!
