---Tired---

Very tired John, as the one on the right can't keep its eyes open.

Amazing and very cute close-up. Perfectly done my friend!

Oh how sweet this is, and such a great close up. You handled this capture very well, and it's a fave for me. tigs=^..^=

This is just adorable John - these little baby swans riding on Mama's back because they are so tired. This would be great for the b& W challenge also.

A shot to be proud of, John. Excellent work.

Your post is just too cute - didn't know baby swans did that - nicely composed. Well Done!!!

What a find and such a cute and perfect close up!! Love it!!!

Adorable babies! The little guy on the left is having trouble going to sleep. Great capture and good one for B&W Challenge.

Oh my goodness, this is Super Precious, excellent camera work - Absolutely Fabulous

What a precious capture. Very nicely done.

I'm impressed with how close you could crop this and with your basic concept about how to present the narrative. There are a lot of swan shots around but little originality (My swan shots lack originality as well. Damn birds are just so elegantly photogenic.) but you've given us an original swan pic, thanks for that.
The boundary between the white feathers and the black background blocks has a bit too much presence for my eye, I "noticed" those boundaries, which became a distraction from everything great in the image. The selection boundary for the background blackness fill maybe needed more feathering?
