Swans and Cygnets C&C

Dodgykeeper

Went out to cover a GAA match tonight which was called off and came across this family "Grazing" on the pitch!

Vertically the angles are quite good,nice and low but in 2&3 I felt a wider view laterally would have helped the photo.To my eyes no.2 appears too flat.Maybe this is what you were going for but its very hard to achieve a great wildlife photo with a side on view.Also I think there's a bit too much grass in the foreground and that the cygnet is composed a bit too close to the sides.

No.3 seems a bit lopsided to me.Also I would have preferred an angle to your right,too much emphasis is being put on the swans body at the moment.The great thing about this photo is the swans pose(eating the grass.) Therefore I believe the photo would be much better if the front of the swan was emphasised instead of a vast proportion being taken up by the body if you get me.Otherwise the focus is spot on and the pose is great.If you tilted the horizon this would still make a nice photo.

No.1 is my favourite,great angle and composition.Focus and lighting are very nice again and good timing with the pose
