I rarely have any interest in photographing Swans but, I could not pass-up these newly hatched Swans. The non-stander cropping is because the Swans stopped right behind the adult’s droppings. I also had to doge out the father’s tail feathers.
I shot this photo on a tripod and with a rented 7DMark II. This is also the first time a used Auto ISO.

7 commentsExcellent dof and detail, Peter. I wish you could have gotten a bit of eye contact, but soemtimes they don't cooperate. The one little blob of oof foreground in front of the lower sibling is a bit of a distraction, but not too bad. Very high cute factor.
Cygnets are very cute. I've never understood the rationale for the kid's story, "The Ugly Duckling." Excellent shot with over-the-top cute factor. And an excellent reminder of the purpose of the whole business.
Very cute with great detail, sharpness and color. Fine image.
