Hi Hil,
this Cygnet looks so cute and soft, it's lovely.
I like the POV and the composition and the colours are beautiful. The pose is also very nice with water drops from the beak.
Well done.

Hola Hil, una toma preciosa, con muy buena definición, luz y color, quizá hubiera ganado mucho si hubiera mas fotografia por la parte de bajo, así podriamos haber visto el reflejo. Aún así me gusta mucho, sobre todo el detalle de la gota de agua y los brillos en el pico. Un saludo

Hi Hilary. Now on the cute side this must be 10/10 . You have good detail in the soft looking feathers. I love the dip of water on its bill. with the light shining on it.Stands out so well against the blue of the water.
well done TFS.

Hallo Hilary
Time is little, but I cannot pass without leaving my comment and appreciation for this beautiful photograph. An admirable, adorable and very cute photograph. A real fluff ball that one would just want to pamper and oh and ah about. You have managed to capture a very special moment showing us this little chick from a very close point. A well presented, well focused image with clear details and good point of view. I liked this one a lot! Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Hilary,
It keeps happening with me too quite frequently. The service providers here are quite indifferent. They have a huge clientele, so they are immune to 'minor' individual problems :-)!
I love this lovely little fellow in your picture. It looks so cute.
The image is very well captured and presented.
I like the very symmetrical wave formation in front of the subject.
TFS and regards.

Hello Hil,

What a heart plucking photograph!
Who couldn't smile and sigh gently looking at this!

The sharp exposure and the quality of the details is quite amazing! The arch of the neck, the glint in the eye and the tiny water droplet on the beak just settle it! I must make this one of my favourites!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Hil,

I was away and missed this adorable little Cygnet. He is way up there on the cuteness scale. So soft and cuddly looking. A marvelous close-up showing the wonderful face and the feathers. I love the water droplet on his beak and the swirls in the water.

Hello Hil
This is just stunning...Not just for the subject..But for the way you have captured the whole scene..The cygnet is sharp where it should be (being the eye and beak with water about to drip) but the focus blends off perfectly to the rear of his head and body showing a great softness of this young bird....What sets this apart from any capture is the circles of water rippling out from a drip of water from the beak...I love the tiny distorted reflection in this...Its a stunning capture and thanks for sharing this fantastic picture.
All the best
Paul

Lewis done good on sunday!!

Hi Hil.
It is really terrific in every respect picture. You managed to represented this charming baby by the best art way. All is perfect. And diagonal composition and framing, and exactness of a reflection of fuzz, colour tones, expression of the eyes, water surface, etc. My hearty congratulations on this touching masterpiece.
