This is a very nice shot, I particularly like the lighting around the chicks heads. The captured ripple in the water adds to composition.

Excelent shot and great composition! beautifuls colors and details. Regards!

Hello Hendrik,
Isn't this great! You can almost hear the swan saying, " Hold on tight or you'll get lost!" Great composition, detail, colours and I just love the wake made by their little bodies!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Hendrik,
Beautiful image of this Swan and babies! Great composition, I love the ripples in the water and the lighting is great too! TFS
Cheers Tina :-)

Mother Nature can sure be a nasty old girl when it suits her. It doesnt pay to be different from the rest in the world of nature. Thank you for all the magnificent photos of the swans, they are beautiful as are the birds.
