[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
...Everyone in the village knew that there was a couple of swans (hoopers) in the lake but nobody ever saw their home. Far from the farthest house I entered a rushy water as I noticed two swan necks there. It's easy to say! The reed wasn't a highway to walk on. Once or twice I suddenly came down with the camera raised in my hand. But it was rewarded. I saw a nest and eggs. The family's members were on the alert nearby. Finally I saw the three little cygnets led by their parents away from the 'invader'.

Your effort was well rewarded!
You managed to capture a really tender moment with those little cygnets. I like the waves in the water and the reflections too. Your crop and frame enhace the hole composition.
Congrats

Great shot. You captured a very special moment with these cygnets. I like the way you have placed the original photo as well. Nicely framed, too.

Aren't they just adorable (smile) This photo is excellent the whole composition does these swans proud, well done!

This is a wonderful capture of nature. I like the inclusion of the original photo. Well done.

This is nice man!..Very Sweet!

This is beautiful, the soft colors of the frames and the inclusion of the original uncropped photo is very nice. I love the fluffy little swimmers, it's nice you got the one to look sideways for a second, great shot and PP work in framing!

A beautiful composition, Aleksei. Nice job on framing, inserting the uncropped picture as well. But the three little swans really steal the show here. Excellent. TFS.
Btw, be careful not to disturb brooding birds; they may just desert their nest and the eggs in it.

how nice:)!!!
