    Default July Theme: Cygnets with mom

    From the Yak!

    This was my first trip in my new Kayak. I love the perspective you get being level with the water.

    It was sad to see the five cygnet's Chad and I saw the day before go down to two.

    Noelle, the low angle from your kayak just works so well. Good HA's from all three, well exposed, and separated nicely from the BG. If anything, the three light spots on the left draw my eyes a bit. Easy to blend in if you so wish.

    Sweet image Noelle, I like the two cygnets and most especially the way they are facing each other. It's nice ot get the adult in there too. Sorry to hear about the other three...

    Hi Noelle,

    Very nice shot. The chicks and the low angle make this one for me. Love the BG colours as well. Well done!

    Great light and lovely detail...I love the way it pops from the BG...I feel it is tight for my taste, but thats subjective...Very cute and appealing image!

    Superbly done, Noelle. Very high cuteness factor, awesome light and setting. Exposure, sharpness and details - all top notch. Low angle and perfect eye contact from all three are icing on an already decadent cake. If anything, I'd add a sliver above and crop that much from below.
    Sweet, sweet image!
