Cygnet

I saw a pair of Trumpeter Swans with 3 little cygnets in a somewhat secluded area of the botanic gardens. This is one of the cygnets.

Cute little one! Nice detail in the down.
Don't know if it was possible, but a much lower angle and from in front of the bird would have been a better perspective.
A polarizer would have improved the water.
Nice as is, though!

Sandy, thank you for your comment. I know what you mean about the perspective. The water level was much lower than the ground I was on so I couldn't get a lower angle. I did get some from more in front of the cygnet, which I might post another day.

Cool shot Barb. What a cute little fuzzball. Nice detail in the fuzz.

Very cute and sweet. I really like the drops of water on the back, and that you can see the leg.
