What a Great family portrait!! Jeff #6409384Carolyn J. Connolly September 04, 2008
Kirsten, I agree with Jeff - this really is a "great family portrait"!! I just love the way the swans are arranged here, and the reflections are beautiful!! You've captured really lovely details, textures, lighting and colours...and the swans show up SO well against that dark background!! Your composition of this image is superb, too!! :o) #6409628Karen Slagle September 04, 2008
Wow, Kirsten. Such wonderful composition with dark and light playing off each other. The dark bg really makes this pop with the light swans. Such a pretty family portrait. I love the way mama is looking at and watching her young..... #6410224Evy Johansen September 04, 2008

I wonder where all these gorgeous birds are today...such a handsome family.Kirsten Kiki Kjaer September 24, 2011
I wonder too, Mary. I think it's the parents that are still there. I don't know where the young ones go when the parents don't want them around anymore - or they need their own family. But there are quite a lot of places around here where swans hang out.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
