Awwwwww... I really feel for your heavy heart on this story.

As a human being who was out doing your work and spraying, you did what you thought was best in moving the little ones to a place where you believed they would have a better chance at survival.

There is also the very real possibility that if they were alive two days later and then not a few days after that, that something might have happened to the mother herself, in which case nothing could have saved them.

Please don't be so hard on yourself and love this picture again. If not, their lives and the enjoyment they have brought others will not be in vain, but you will be depriving yourself of the joy of having been there to witness the miracle that they were.

Wonderful photo. The clarity of the entire picture is just amazing. You have the castle in the background, as well as the one in the water. You also got the ice to be a important part of the picture, maybe because of the well named title, or because of the placement in the picture. Either way, very well done.
