Stunning photos posted here! Just amazing...

This is my best, for emotional as well as technical reasons. Tech: right out of camera, cloned out one tiny flare of light bouncing off a water droplet in the background, no cropping... In case you can't understand it, it is a little cygnet riding on his mother's back, she's turned around and looking at him, with a water droplet falling off her beak at the top of the photo.

I doubt I'll ever have a moment like this again - it was pure magic. The quiet stillness of the inlet, the setting sun glancing off his mother's wing for fill light, him looking directly into the lens with such curiosity in his eyes... I was privileged to be part of it and capture it.
