Hi Reina,
Beautiful capture of this group of cute little swans. I like the composition with the orientation of heads and the lines in the water guiding the viewer around in a circle through the picture. Nicely managed DOF to get both the reflections and the actual subjects. Love the green/brown colours.
A good piece of work!
Regards,
Gabi

Hi Reina
This posting runs off the Richter scale, purely for the cuteness factor. It is a great capture with these little swans all lined up in a row. It makes me think of a nursery rhyme we used to sing as kids. Maybe you will be able to understand some of it in Afrikaans.
"Eendjies, eendjies, al in a ry.
Een, twee, drie, vier, stap hul verby.
Links, regs, links, regs, kyk hoe maak.
Reguit dam toe kwaak, kwaak, kwaak."
Anyway, the composition is great with the line of swans placed at a slight angle across the frame and their lovely reflections on the water playing up to give even more dimension to the photo. The colours are great with the overall darkish green of the water being highlighted by the splash of pinkish-brown/white (sorry, I don’t know how to describe it any better) of the swans and the bright green of the water plants. The details on the birds are remarkably sharp and the exposure was perfectly managed.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Cute factor of 10 plus an excellent shot with a nice exposure. You can almost feel the soft down feathers looking at this image. Very nice Reina. :)

Hoi Reina
Wat een geweldige compositie, ze zijn werkelijk heel grappig om te zien. De weerspiegeling in het water, de scherpte ofwel alles.

Wat een schatjes zeg.. ze zien erg zacht en aaibaar uit zo! Erg scherpe foto ook, je kan de haartjes tellen...
Ik zou heel misschien geprobeert hebben het grassprietje linksvoor eruit te halen door hem wat scherper af te snijden, maar het is niet storend hoor

Hele mooie foto!

Groetjes Kristies

Hi Reina,
As others have said, very cute. Nice composition and the timing is very good getting all of the swans to have their eyes visible and positioned facing the camrea.
Well done.

Hi Reina,
Very cute scene, these young swannies.
Good composition, POV and bright colours. I like the reflection in the water very much, it makes this picture more stronger.
Very well seen, Reina.
