I hope you aren't getting tired of my fascination with the Black Swans and their baby! This is another view of the baby but this time with his Mommy tending him.
I cropped it like this so the focus is centered on the chick. I hope you like it.

Allô Fran

Good family photo of a watchful mom. Like your composition with mother to the side of image and baby trying to get away for some adventure. Well presented with the focus made on the young.

awww.... thats a real cute baby swan... really cute!! :D I don't want your fascination to stop with them if you can produce such nice results :)
One suggestion though, It might have worked better if you could have kept the angle slightly more to the left and a little behind, just enough to show a bit more of the mum while still maintaining the focus on the baby. Having said that, I still understand the effort behind such a shot and hence a full smiley :P

Nicely done Fran with the attention on the cygnet where it should be. Good colour and lovely detail. TFS,
David

Hi Fran,
I'd be tempted to crop Mommy swan out, but I see what you was going for I think.
Focus on the babe is super...and the water is so real looking...hope it doesn't spill out into my monitor!?!

Lyndon

Hi Fran,

A rather touching moment you captured here! Great POV & tight crop which places more emphasis on the young one!

Well done

Cuttie swan here. Lovely composition Fran. And YES, I'm too waiting to see Mardi Gras shots *_^. :) Vandana

I can see she have all her attention on the baby from that angle. Before having camera i was observing sometime impressive movement to save the eggs or baby... By exemple a mother who fail have a broken wing... Running... Animal will follow and as they are enough away she fly :)
Ohto is of a good light! Details are peacefull for the eyes and sharp!

Hello Fran,
A funny situation, well captured!
Cute too of course, and that little fellow seems pretty confident with the water...
Good textures and attractive colours, bold framing works with me!
Greetings,
