Spotted this family of swans across the pond. This was a far distance, and alot of cropping was done.

I used the canon 70-200mm/converter combo.

Thank you for commenting.

---This was a far distance---

On the one hand a very good result for this far distance, Sandi, on the other hand one has to very careful to approach the nest too close, because a very protective and aggresive Swan-husband is almost near.

Very fine image!

Good clear image even at the distance Sandi. You shouldn't approach too close any way - as Cornelius said.

You've beat me to it, I haven't got a Swan family on my gallery yet, congratulations Tigz. (o: It's not easy getting them to pose for the camera but this shot came out very well, nicely done my friend.

A very unique picture of swans Sandi. Our normal diet is of them in the water. I like this picture very much.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
