LOL, your caption takes the prize. A very precious moment captured with these two young chicks. I love how you caught them at the moment when it looks as though they are actually talking. Lovely photo...color is good, as well as, focus.

Your welcome

Comment from Monica Morrell
A wonderful captured shot of these beautifully siblings.
Their feathers are so fluffy and you can almost feel how soft they are with your detailed shot and sharp clarity.
The little bro does look as though he is being scolded so a nice title. LOL
Beautiful color and exposure nicely framed.

I think the color In this shot if perfect.
It shows clearly the dark color of the cygnets balanced against the clear green of the grass.
Well done.
Sharon

You have captured the very essence of baby cuteness with this masterful picture. The clarity and the lighting are perfect. Great work, and expert abilities with the camera.

Ha ha ha...poor little ugly cygnet! Not really, they are so cute and fluffy...even the darker two. It will be fun to watch their development from your postings as you document their journey to adulthood. I have enjoyed this series very much.

Fred, I wish our local gardens' swans would have a few babies. that is one thing I am dying to get shots of.

Yours are adorable and yes, they are a bit dark... will they turn white eventually? or do you think they will be different than the others?

Comment from nikman
No, must surely be the angled shadows! Your fine central composition offers us a good and enjoyable look at the pair of your lovely ducks. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Comment from suzannethompson2
Aw! So cute. Looks like they're having a conversation about their colour - wonder if they'll all end up pure white? Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely crisp image. Great composition. Suzanne
