Hello Shelly,

What luck, I had just logged on when your spectacular shot rolled in. I am honored to be among the first to view and critique the surpassing image. Bracketed between the two swans are the family of turtles — a photograph conceived and implemented beautifully. I love the dark water, the lush green grass and the reflection of the swans in the water. Finally, the frame is highly complementary, something you always do masterfully.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Oh this is sweet!!! Of course we don't have turtles here, and I really like them. How they're between the two swans is priceless. Good timing! TFS

I don't understand how you manage to capture this. It is almost Symitrical with good reflection The dark background helps to focus our eyes much on the subject matter. Full marks.
Best regards, Balwant

Hi, Shelly -

Not to worry; this is a really cute shot, and the swans and turtles so well lined up, I want to speak to their agent! The water reflection is great, too.

Best,
Dan

Hi Shelly,
The two lunker swans make a very lovely frame for ther sunbathing hard shells. Striking reflection of these elegant long white necks in the still green waters.

Well done Shelly. You have handled the exposure about as well as can be expected. This a fine shot with the two watchful swans and their adopted collection of turtles. I especially like the reflections in the water and the colours are superb.The swans act as a frame for the turtles.

Hi Dearest
Very interesting scene.
Theese kind of turtles vas abandonned by their owners after growth without worrying about the damage which they can cause on the ecosystem.
The left white swan is normally over exposed because your camera sensor vas setted on the dark parts of the picture; in this case you must under expose a little.
Sincères amitiés.

Warm regards for you and yours,

Bonjours,
belle photo de ces deux cygnes qui semble avoir adopter ces 6 tortues et comme quand ils ont des petits, leurs attention est forte, il regarde partout si le danger n' arrive pas.
Belle prise, bien rare, bien vu, bien pris.

Amitiés Thomas

Hi Shelly!
Today I took some shots of swans,too,but no turtles in sight.It`s an unusual and funny arrangement of these totally different animals.The green stripe with them contrasts very well with the dark fore-and background.The reflections are nice,too.
Regards,Leo
