Kirsten, I agree with Jeff - this really is a "great family portrait"!! I just love the way the swans are arranged here, and the reflections are beautiful!! You've captured really lovely details, textures, lighting and colours...and the swans show up SO well against that dark background!! Your composition of this image is superb, too!! :o) #6409628

Mary K. Robison September 23, 2011

I wonder where all these gorgeous birds are today...such a handsome family.
VERY belated Congratulations on this lovely capture making finalist, Kiki! #9687640

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer September 24, 2011

I wonder too, Mary. I think it's the parents that are still there. I don't know where the young ones go when the parents don't want them around anymore - or they need their own family. But there are quite a lot of places around here where swans hang out.
