These two young swans were resting on the shore of river Adda, northern Italy, after a night of heavy rain. Their parents were not far.

Thanks for looking and for your comments. Larger version provided.

Nice composition, although I wish both swans were sharp instead of just the back one. Can't wait to see more!

I love this. As mentioned, it would have been great to have the focus primarily on the closer bird, but this is still really appealing.

Very nice image - I don't mind the slight softness of the FG cygnet at all, as it emphasizes the "softness" of the down of these babies.
I'd suggest lighting the face of the BG cygnet just a bit.
Sweet image!
