I proudly present to you, the 'Swan Family'
The parents and their four children!
Three are white, and one is the 'black sheep' in the family! This photo was taken by sunset!
So typical of a family..there's always one that just doesn't quite fit the mold..thank goodness!! (I'm speaking from being the "black" sheep of the family myself <LOL>)
Excellent quality in this upload, both in color and composition and in the DOF .
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This photo is one the finest I have seen on our site...of 'Swan Life'..;o) It is truly a magnificent masterpiece....
My thoughts are of such, for a variety of resons.....the positioning of the beautiful swans...the lighting exquisitely enhances your composition....the white of the swans...the awesome colors of blues and greens......the clarity....together and skillfully composed.....make the image complete.....;o) I love the tones of the still winding stream...the surroundings of green... healthy free flowing grasses..;o)
Well John....it is truly a delight to view......!!
I will add this much appreciated photo to my 'House of Favorites' and with pleasure....beautifully done... my friend!!
