a swan family Photo

Photographer’s Note

don´t know why but swans in england seem to be more proud than in other countries. maybe it's because they are some kind of a royal heritage there. i noticed this swan family while hiking in the surroundings of winchester in southern england. i'm quite obsessed with photos which show reflections of the sunlight on the water and this is one of the best pics of this kind i have ever taken.

Wow. I'm absolutely not a fan of swans, but these are an exception! Beautiful shot. The sunlight makes the picture sparkle, literally.
The light and shades around the little ones are great too. Well done!

Bonjour Robert,
J'aime beaucoup ta composition, surtout les jeux de lumières dans l'eau, on dirait que ce cygne laisse une trace lumineuse pour que ses petits la suive.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Hello Robert,
Got to admit this one is magic ! You choose the perfect angle to get the best reflection.
Perfect position horizontally and vertically
to have all of them surrounded by this magnificient aura.
A real beauty!
Robert

a really rich picture in composition, and you have great POV too. It is pretty.

swan itself is like many i have seen. but the little ones, how they are makes this magic.
sun reflection is great, but the transparency of water makes this picture surreal.
