Nice shot, just saw it. For the record, they are "cygnets"; a signet is a stone in a ring...

Adorable shot!
Too bad you only used 510 of the allowable 640px. I would have loved to see this at a larger size.
Couple things: your crop is a bit tight and focus is too soft IMO.

I generally hate duck and swan pictures, but this one is really quite nice. Very nicely framed. Nice composition. I think it is really nice how the little guys are in swimming in the reflections of the parent. It's a very peaceful image; one that would hang very nicely in a doctor's office, or any office for that matter. <7>

Always appealing these sort of shots, a nice diaganol to the composition as well - good luck

Cute pic of the cygnets. Crop is a little tight on the top - feels like the right hand swan is a little cramped for space. Very nice reflections and colors.

Nice sentiment. I do think the signets look a bit soft.
