Nice timing for this shot of the swan pair in the process of feeding. Great focus and lighting,the sun sparkling on the water adds interest to this well framed image!

Comment from Charlie Newman


I often get to see similar scenarios with the dipping ducks looking for food. The first thought that comes to my mind is they are tired of facing the camera and are sending that message by effectively "mooning" me. Your capture of the swans sent the same message to me and got a big chuckle as I now know I'm not the only when. Nice timing and nice capture. Thanks for sharing it and thanks for the laugh.

5 stars and a giggle for the humorous image, supergold. We all need a good laugh now and then. You framed this well, details are nice even in the shadows. Good job.

Thanks for the chuckle! I had to do a double-take before reading your caption :) Nicely framed - you captured a really cute moment, especially with the swans being side-by-side!

Certainly a humorous shot and made me smile.
It's sharp well composed and nicely lit.
Just extremely glad that I'm not a swan, particularly at this time of year.

Very cute photograph of White Swans, looks like you caught the tail end of this show. Natural colors and tones, good DoF, sharp focus, good composition and well framed. Overall, a very nice Photograph, well done!

Hi Super, I did an image like this one in the past and titled it "We have to Stop Meeting Like This!" I love it when you can capture dunking ducks, geese or swans like this. You dis a great job of capturing these two. Focus and lighting are both terrific! Nicely Done and a LOT of FUN to view! :o) Nancy

Oh that's funny! What a unique picture. Your POV makes the picture. Focus is good. The sun light high lights their tails. Blurry water puts the focus on your subject.

Oh how funny. What luck on your part. Of course good composition with matching tails in the air. I just love it when animals are just animals doing what they do living in a world where we humans are of no consequence. Getting something to eat is important. Looking pretty is not even a concept. This is a really fun photo. Reasons for my five star vote.

Comment from alaskapat


Yes, this is what they do when I try to take their picture too! This is humorous, it's like a synchronized dance in the water, two swans side by side with their heads down in the water!
Well focused, clear image with good exposure, colors and tones are natural.well composed and presented!
