new year

A new family of Swans from the same nesting pair of Swan’s I photographed at Hammonasset Beach State Park,CT last year.
I cropped the top of the shot to reduce the effect of the branch in the photo. I also reduced the highlights some and added some clarity and vibrance in Lightroom 5.

I like your choice of pano composition, Peter. The poses of the cygnets are relaxed and interesting, and fit well with the comp. The remnant branch on the top is somewhat distracting as is the bright spot on the water. Should be easy to fix those.

What a sweet little bunch Peter. Love the soft down, you did a fantastic job capturing the details in the bright light. I know it would take some work, but you may want to try to clone out the branch overhead and the bright spot. These ugly ducklings are beautiful.

I agree with Govind and Ed, Peter. Fixing those 2 issues would really improve this image.

Excellent image of the cygnets, Peter. I agree with the others completely on the bright spot and stick.
