"Nature's Grace" is what I personally call this. Birds in all forms personify Nature's Grace, but there is something about a swan that fires the imagination. This series is for my Mother, who loves swans.

Chris, your mom will love these, I'm sure. I like how you captured the mom and just one of her children together. And the way the sun is spotlighting her - I'm sure you know swans mate for life - another magical thing about them.. Thanks for this. ~Mary~

How beautiful, he looks like he's looking right at you. The sun is so warm and that little reflection in the water really makes that shot.

Ah, this is lovely and the colors are great. I love the sunlight dancing across the water. My mom loves swans too. She has a collection of them (figurines, of course).

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

well your mother is going to love this one Chris! It went straight into my favourites. I wouldn't dare to suggest any improvements - I really like it! - the composition, the colours, the squiggle of colour in the lake and the framing! great work!

There's so much going for this composition, and how nice it must be to have someone to give it to whom you know will appreciate it :)

Amazing! It looks too perfect almost - like a painting. I'll look forward to the rest of the series.
