Swan with nine cygnets

 * Reason:High resolution, adds greatly (I think) to the article, and lastly: I really don't think it's legal in most US states, as well as the majority of overseas countries, to vote against a photo this cute.
 * Articles this image appears in:Swan, Mute swan, Advice for parents. :-)

 * Oppose Original, Support Alt 1 - Original is over-processed, Fails FIC8. Compare to Alt1. Swans that are swimming through eternal darkness do not glow with holy light. Kaldari (talk) 19:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose both. Not loving the colours on the new one, either- the first looks more realistic to me. The plant life looks too green and bright, not to mention the fact the body of the mother is now blindingly white. J Milburn (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose both The photo could use some sharpening and the lighting is not pleasant. It has a dark background and a blown highlight on the mother's body.  Zoo Fari  01:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose alt 1 Looks unrealistic, especially the whitened neck which really should be brownish, as should the cygnets, plus the background looks weirdly fluorescent. Narayanese (talk) 14:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
