This is an adorable chick. Its pose looks indeed as if it is sorry. The photo is well focused and exposed. Details are satisfactorily refined and the colors are realistic. The youngster is nicely placed within the frame. The composition is balanced. The framing is adequate.

Another charming image Fred and typical of the swans with their graceful head bowing down like that, again the letterbox format which is your style and trademark, the light on the downy feathers is perfect as is the dark green water surrounding it, please tell me that this was not the only survivor of this years clutch!

A beautiful shot. I like this pose that makes it appear as though the cygnet is looking down at his reflection. A fine image with great detail in the cygnet and beautiful water. Not too crazy about the title.

Comment from nikman
Quite a sweet looking nature photo posted here! Yes, your cygnet does look anxious/guilty of something or maybe it spotted an interesting fish? Like its fluffy feathers. Nicely done!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this 10 day old Mute Swan Cygnet swimming on the lake while gazing below the surface or just admiring it's reflection. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
