It was hard to believe how quickly the six cygnets had grown and how large they had gotten. I finally managed to get a few photos of them all together from across the lake that day and after striking out on seeing them several times it was great just to see them again. Getting all of them together in a photo is a challenge since there's one cygnet who likes to hang out by himself behind the others.

Beautiful family shot Heather, it tugs at the heart strings. I am glad that you were able to get them all into the frame and the marsh backdrop makes for a perfect composition. Great focus on the family with nice vivid colours.

Very beautyful scenery with the swan family. You got very bright colors. The blue and black is perfect to highlight the white swans and the focus is spot on. Well done Heather.
