Hello Paul,

I like much this photograph. It translates its title correctly. I appreciate in particular the deep colors, as well as the reflection in water.

Paul, this one is very lovely. The gradients made by lights and colours & the reflections are very well managed. The exagerated contrast gives a nice mood to the shot, it gives an arty point.
I will not mention the composition, just enjoy it. TFS.

She is certainly looking out for her loved ones, which is how we are all feeling at the moment.
A great shot, with a very 'topical' message.
Thanks for posting.

Hi Paul,

You are right; this picture did took a different meaning ... it's a great picture and I especially love the heart formed by the cygnets. The mother Swan turns her head away from the heart and the love. I hope we, all the nations who despise the terrorist acttacks of yesterday, will not do that. We should stick together and stand tall. It doesn't matter whether your from the UK or not ... yesterday democracy was attacked for the so maniest time and it won't be for the last. Together we will beat it, I am sure about that. Thanks for a beautiful post Paul.

Regards,
Pieter

Hi Paul
This is lovely. The dark tones bring a kind of intimacy.
I would not try to comment further, my English is not good enough to express exactly what I feel under such circumstances. But be sure I'm sincerely and deeply with you, as well as with all British people.
With kind regards,
Martine

Paul, My friend, I agree. Vigilance is needed in this world today as never before..Love is in short supply, and evil has reared its ugly head once again..It has many forms, this one being a fundamentalist fanatical ideology that has declared war on the west. We must stand together to defeat it...My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the UK and especially those affected directly by the bombings..

Paul, needless to mention the meaning the shot has now. Apart from that, you mentioned on your note you would not normally post this. Why not?

A lovely shot with great pov.

Paul,
I learnt what took place in London. The unconsciousness and the human inhumanity is the worse than what arrives often naturally because it is calculated and voluntary.
Living myself in a big city, I know that we are not shielded from such acts.
I offer you all the sympathy of which I am able.

Ah cute, Paul. Yes, a happy family together, I get your meaning in your notes. The heart shape from the 2 babies is very touching right now. And Mama is looking out to protect her 2 babes from danger.
Thank you, well shown.

Hello Paul! Wonderful image, you have to take them as they come, and the babies' poses certainly make up for mum turning her back! Very glad you posted it, the reflections are great and the composition is delightful! Well done!
