Aw! They look more cute each day. Lovely capture of the proud parents and their five fluffy cygnets - you can imagine they'll be giving them an earful about being careful, etc! Very good lighting and focus as always. Great composition. Suzanne

Fred and his cygnets. I love it. They are such furry little creatures. I don't know why we have the Ugly Duckling story. I think they are wonderful. Excellent image. Well done.

This is a lovely photo of this swan family! I like how it shows the mom and dad closely guarding their babies. Great timing to capture all the little ones facing in directions where we can see their faces.

Comment from Nancy Montana


Such beautiful swans and chicks. The photo is simple in that there is activity, but it does not detract from the picture. The focus is wonderful. Too bad you pulled the same stunt I do and lost part of the head of one of the parents. :) Love the feel of the family portrait. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fred,
A brilliant picture of this family of Mute Swans the Cob & Pen watching over their fluffy five Cygnets. Beautiful composition framing & lighting dancing off the water's surface. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

The cygnets are very well spaced and shown in fine detail. I like the way the parents appear so protective. Nice colors and excellent composition.

They are quite clearly a very responsible pair of parents! Your nice composition gives us an instantly understandable look at your overly nature scene. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!
