Mute Swan
EOS300D, 500F4L IS, 1.4xTCII, iso 100, ev-2/3, techs not recorded,550 EX +BB @ -2/3, 1325+bh1

The last of my mute swan cygnets.

I know mums going away from me, but it was the only way I could get a clear shot of all four on her back. I kinda like it anyway.

Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

While I'd love to see the adults head a bit I really love that there is one and only one lcygnut ooking at the camera. Cute.

David, a wonderful capture it is, the Taxi for four is wonderful, this also protects the cygnets from predators such as large turtles lurking below!!
Congrats!!

Dave, the one cygnet looking this way makes it work. Well done,

I like this ...the image is all about the little ones. The one looking back really adds to the over all.

I like this one very much....there's always one in every group that just has to be different. You've got that one looking right at you.

Dave,

I really like this one for all of the reasons mentioned above. My favorite element is the one cygnet looking back.

It's your exposure that really strikes me. It has created a very calm mood.

I think this is priceless!! The fact that there is only just enough room for them all - the one at the back is only just hanging on!!- and then the one looking back just cracks me up!!

I love it!!
