[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Children of Lir is an old Irish myth telling the tale of four children turned into swans by their stepmother, who is jealous of the love their father bears for them.

“For three hundred years you will stay on the Lake of the Oaks; for three hundred years you will be on the Isle of Maoile, between Ireland and Scotland; and for three hundred years you will be at Innis Gluaire, on the wild North Coast of Ireland. Only when you hear a bell ring in honour of God, you will get your human forms again.”

Great one Stephen!

The swans are great, the colors are excellent.
I dont like the framing but that is only my opinion so you do whatever you like.
The first swan is the best and the most sharp I love it!

WellDone!

Stephen, a lovely shot to show us the birds.

Composition and sharpness are okay. Besides, vivid and beautiful red shades.

A very nice job.

Hi Stephen!
Superb photo. I don't belive in this terrible story you wrote! I would like to know they are only wonderful, amazing swans... not unhappy, lost children.
Good job!

Stephen, Very interesting border..Don't think I've ever seen this type of custom work before. Creative or improvisional? Great footnote to your photo. I'm waiting to see if you can come up with "after" group photo! ;-))

Well done.
