Jocelyn Walker is the brain behind the lens in today's Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day. Jocelyn hails from Australia, but last year she visited Europe and this is where this most attractive silhouette of a black swan and cygnet was taken. The patterns of the reflective ripples in the water, bathed in the clean golden glow of the light, make a great background for the central subject of the swan and cygnet. But the clincher for me is the way the cygnet is close up to Mum (or Dad!) and the way the swan appears to be caring for its young. It's a delightful portrait.
