I don't like this. It looks like the swan is drooling. Not a flattering portrait of such a graceful animal.Message edited by author 2005-06-21 21:39:14.

Wow! What an incredible capture! The lighting, the composition, the timing, everything is beautiful! I had this pegged to take the blue, but still not a bad finish. Congrats on your ribbon in this talented challenge.

Amazing shot. Just curious how many shots in the sequence you took or was this a single take. You have my vote hands down. Not to say anything bad about the others they are all very impressive. Just something about this shot captivates me personally.
Post actions
Wonderful shot, great coloring... The water dripping from the beak bothers me a bit.
Post actions
Great shot. I can see this as a poster hanging on a lot of teenage girls walls
Post actions
you captured a lovely moment of mum and her babies so well done for that ! I find the blurriness of the background distracting though and the lighting not quite right, mum is a little dark.

Major Wow Factor for me.. simply beautiful

Lovely lighting though the red is a touch too red for me, even though it's likely realistic rendition of late evening light. A little more detail in face of parent swan would help too. 6

Cute, just a tad more luminance and it would be there = 8

I think this is an excellent shot. I like the lighting and detail. Only draw back is the water catured in the swans beak. I find it very unatural and distracting.
Post actions
Lovely capture, especially the backlighting on the ducklings. I'm not sure if the falling water adds to the picture or not, but it's certainly captured well.
Post actions
wonderful capture, i hope this places high

INCREDIBLE. Really fabulous image. I love the warm tones, makes it feel like a summer evening.

beautiful shot but the water dripping from the swan's beak is distracting - shame as it spoils an otherwise perfect picture.
Post actions
Winner, awesome light, 10
Post actions
Beautiful shot and different, this light is amazing!
Post actions
Very nice! Can't find much wrong with this.

Not sure about the water from Momma's mouth. Looks a little bizarre. The sun reflections on the water are a little too strong (hot). The rest of the photo is great. Love the colors, focus, and dof. Excellent work

This is just plain lovely. The composition and use of light, slight silhouette of fledglings, the tone and color all add up to a beautiful shot...8

Did that swan just sneeze? Lovely pic even if it does have swan snot in it. The little signets are cute!
Post actions
This REALLY is one of my favorites!!! I fact. . . .I'm going to pick it as one of my favorites. I love ducks anyway, but your lighting, your tones, and then the dripping of the water off your perfectly focused ducks makes this an aMAZING shot!!! I would be delighted if this was in the winners circle on Monday morning!!!
