5 in Tow

7 swans a swimming.  A pair of Trumpeter Swans with 5 Cygnets in tow in a flooded area near the river. They were all headed away from me but I figured it was still worth a shot.

It looks much better in the large version.

Nice familly action, Gary, with all swans sharp.  You're right, in the larger version the water and their reflections pop nicely.

You have captured that tranquil family moment. Even though they are moving away at an angle, they seem to do so at a leisurely pace, with one of the cygnets investigating the water.
