    1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/2700s, f5, iso 200. Evening sun.

    It's amazing how quickly the cygnets are growing. I like the colour of the plumage they're showing at present. Comments and critique appreciated as always.

    Lovely low angle, dynamic pose, and BG. Great exposure too. I would like to see more room on both sides, but I really like this one.

    Ian:

    Your usual great shooting angle, nice light, mood.

    Agree about more room, and I wish the head didn't merge with the tail.

    Really like the attentive look the cygnet is giving you and yet it appears to be blowing bubbles in such a relaxing manner. Well captured. In this case the crop feels fine to me, more intimate.
