Great first posts….its very hard trying to get swans exposed right with any camera
but you did well here…was there any way of getting down lower to them ?…as with a lot
of subjects in photography…if you can get to eye level…it makes a better photograph.
Your second shot of the cygnet is really nice with the young bird in the center of the ripples
which was well observed and you also caught a bit of the reflection as well.
All in all they are two nice shots…well done.
