Three Cygnets
1D2n, 600m f4, 1/320s, f4, iso 200. Setting sun.

I had been trying some shots using selective focus to highlight individual birds. On this occasion, the light was superb and the water flat calm.

Oh yes... the only minor fault has been mentioned and easy to correct. just love that the in focus cygnet is looking the opposite direction IMO that just adds that little bet extra....

Very minor nit (and one I am always guilty of). A beautiful image though enhanced by the lighting. Nice POV and love the reflections. :toast:

Does it need rotating? Its just the position of the swans, isn't it? :confused:
