I like the image, IMHO it looks best in the larger photo. The water drops help to make this photo interesting. Would like to see more room in front of the cygnet. Thanks for sharing.

I like the pose and the water droplets on the cygnet. Was it possible to get down lower to shoot this at eye level?

John and Tonia, thank you for your comments. Tonia, it wasn't possible to shoot this at eye level because the water level was much lower than the ground I was on.

I agree about the larger photo looking best, and I also like the water drops and the pose. It has a very intimate feel.

Excellent diagonal comp. Good detail; a lower angle would have been better if it were possible. I certainly understand about ground height, though. I do think more room on the right would help.
