  Mini#35 Best of 2016 		Entry 8 of 38
   
 
Swan Lake       ©2017 jomari
Panasonic DMC-FZ70       8th place, 109 points
1/125s, f5.1, ISO 640, 132mm, Normal Program, Pattern, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Crop, clone out some bits of weed, sharpen, increase saturation, image size       Extra Info: This little cygnet was taking it easy. When I first spotted the pair he was all snuggled down and barely visible. I followed them (and they followed me, hoping for some handouts) and I got quite a few shots. There were a couple of other cygnets with them too.

Jan 9, 2017		     Excellent picture. The feathers of the mother swan come out nicely. Well composed. Nr 1 in my favorites.

Jan 9, 2017		     This is a wonderful shot. I am glad you chose a close crop, as it focuses the eye on the two heads . The detail and colour are just perfect. Well done.

Jan 8, 2017		     like this one... in my favorites... possibly adding more contrast or shadow may make the black bird pop a bit more.

Jan 8, 2017		     This works quite well, from framing to detail to subject matter to composition...maybe a little more canvass to the right as it looks a little crowded.

Jan 8, 2017		     In spite of the cygnet being slightly overexposed, I love the framing and composition of this bird family portrait.

Jan 7, 2017		     Great capture. Excellent details. I think a vignette would work very well on this shot.

Jan 7, 2017		     So much detail in the plumage, a great shot. I wonder what the birds are both looking at?

Jan 6, 2017		     Very cute! I've heard about baby water birds riding on their parents but never seen it. In my TT

Jan 6, 2017		     Impressive capture with the baby on the back and the red beak pulls in the viewer's eye.

Jan 6, 2017		     I love the interaction here between these two. The details on the feathers are outstanding... I never thought I would say this, but the water is distracting...... It is not so much the water itself, but it is more the color of the water that bother me. It is what I would refer to as color composition. Lovely photo nonetheless.
