The mighty mother swan shows her wings to the litle sygnets.
Lucky me that I can come so close to the family. It took me much time last years but they are still used to me.

Much more swans in my three themes:

Hi Hendrik

Lovely shot of the Pen and her Cygnets, I love the pose with her wings spread, it looks like she wants to wrao them aroung her youngsters, good details and great colours too. My local Swans are still on the nests, think a week or two before they hatch.

Hallo Hendrik
You have managed to capture this beautiful swan and her little ones in a lovely and most eye-catching pose and with great clarity and detail. This is a very intimate and cosy scene with lots of detail to appreciate. In my opinion the whole scene has a high cuteness factor and deserves every ooh and aah. It is a touching scene and a feast to the eye. Looking at it has a calming effect on the system. She stands very proud and it looks if she want to teach these 8 youngsters a lesson in life. Thanks for sharing this lovely presentation.
Kind regards.
Anna

Hello Hendrik,
I have been looking at your gallery and i find this a great series tracking the mother and her little one.This is a glorious capture of the mother swan with her outstretched wings.I like the pleasant exposure of the white here and the details of the habitat.
TSF & Cheers
