I was walking with my dog when I stumbled upon a couple of swans. Ran as quickly as I could home to get my camera and lens, also a teleconverter and monopod. Ran down again, without the dog, and took MANY photos. This was probably not the best of them, but certainly the most interesting.

The composition could be improved IMO, I would have placed them much lower in the frame. Needs a slight contrast boost also IMO. 5

Nice simple scene and this is very cute. I would love to have seen more texture to the water or have something different to break the scene even if it was darker shadows or whatever the case may be

Very simple composure. The subjects though blend a little too much into the surrounds for me, especially seeing they are that small.......

extremely gray and dull in color...(but then it's probably a very gray and dull day up north wasn't it...hmmm) for me the proportion of the subject to the picture seems to be off...I would like to have seen the swans and geese larger in this grouping...now I'm rambling...

Cute photo and title. Looks underexposed though, very dull and drab lighting.

You get an 8 - 7 for the shot and 1 for making me laugh.

Humorous shot, but photographically, not particularly outstanding. I think the weather and conditions didn't help you here as the whole thing feels very grey and bleak. A bit of editing may have improved this a bit.
