Hi back to you and welcome. The first post is the hardest. I like the swan picture, especially the look of the water in the background. You got nice detail with the wet feathers and water drops. :clap
The last time I tried to get close to a baby swan, a very angry one with a mean reputation (his name is Sweety) chased after me.

Great captures, both. Love the eyes of the dog. :):

Nice to have you aboard.:thumb

The signet is beautiful... Love those babyswans. As long as the parents are a bit out of sight, they look out for their chicks and can bite in a nasty way.
Great swan shot you have here

The swans were reasonably friendly, especially when you're armed with fresh bread.
