Hello Gert,
What a beautiful family picture.:)Wish the father was there too to complete the circle. So what I read in the 'Ugly Duckling 'is true. The young ones certainly lack the graceful beauty of the grown ups.But sill they look all fluffy ad adorable.
As for the picture, it is a beautiful composition with good POV and DOF.
Good sharpness,details and natural colors.
Thanks for the share,
Smitha.

This is a beautiful family picture, Gert.
The mother Swan and her chicks have been very well captured in this lovely shot.
Very fine point of view, composition, colours and contrasts.Well done and TFS.

Hi Gert,

Very beautiful family photo. Great composition, POV, bright colours and sharp details. Your very beautiful background appears to be quite well in focus too which in this case suits perfectly.

Hi Gert,

A beautiful family - the babies are so adorable. Nice colors and excellent details. I love the lily pads behind them and the lovely swirls in the water.

Hallo Gert
Thank you for sharing this lovely photo of the swans with us. I like the reflections of the swans in the water and the waterplants in the background adds a special and rexaling touch to this great scene. Splendid family scene, which just proof how wonderful mother nature is. The eght little swans looks so fluffy and are really cute. You can share these kind of scenes more often. They are a pleasure to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
