[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
“Only 2 Cygnets” is the name of this photo which was taken on a leisurely walk in Bowring Park. Only two cygnets survived this year. It took approximately 30 minutes for this photo as I had to wait for mom to bring them close to the camera. As you can see, she is cautiously watching in the background.
The DOF on the shot is what makes photography so interesting. Hopefully these beautiful creatures will survive. However there are lots of hungry gulls who seem to like baby ducklings

Hello Jim,
The perfectly clear details of the baby ducks and details in the foreground with the blur in the background work together very effectively. Lovely composition including the colors. The red adds interest. Your wait to capture this shot was well worth it
Warm wishes,
Betty
