Very serene and a good choice of b/w. Although her feathers are a bit washed I rated this one of my top picks.

the black and white needs more contrast imo. right now everything seems to be a shade of grey w/ no pure whites and no blacks.

I like the white in all the dark, makes it stand out. It also looks like mom may be saying, hey kids look at that. The swans seem very focused. I like it.

Lovely image the B/W works well with this shot but I feel you would get better composition if you cropped some of the reflection off. Still the same a very pleasant image 7

Wonderful! Good composition and range of tones. Great subject too. Who wouldn't love the little fuzzy babies? :) High marks from me.

I have to say this is my absolute favorite. Great choice of black and white and nicely done. The positioning of the babies and mother is perfect. 10 from me, more if I could. Congratulations on creating a stunning piece of art

A sweet study, nice reflections. Shame the light is more on swan's side than face. 6

Lovely moment to capture. I love the reflection and the black and white was a wise choice. The ripples in the water create a nice effect.
