Fly on, Little Wing.

Incredible shot, how was this taken?

Thanks Lee. I visit the lake (Whitlingham Broad in Norfolk, UK) often, and twice I've been able to spend the evening with swan families, this time a mother and two cygnets who seemed to like having me around, returning again and again over a couple of hours. The swans are pretty tame there and the water carries on into the distance for great backgrounds. I got the low angle using a Nikon DR5 right angled viewer, so I can sit shooting low for long periods of time.

Damn! Everything about this is a five-star image.

Thanks very much Daniel :)
