Cygnet II
Cygnet II is a unique black & white portrait featuring a Cygnet with its family in Commonwealth Park, Canberra.
Behind the scenes
Spring is a time to celebrate new life and new beginnings as we emerge from the cold gloom of Winter. In Canberra, the Floriade festival is an annual celebration of Spring, attracting over 300,000 visitors every year. Aside from enjoying the colourful floral displays, visitors are greeted every year by Commonwealth Park’s resident Swans who, like proud parents, do laps of the park’s lake showing off their Cygnets. I like the unique composition of this portrait, with the Swan and cygnet out of focus in the foreground adding depth to the image.

This is a striking and unique portrait that is sure to make a fantastic addition to your home. Ideal as a framed fine quality print or canvas, let this heart-warming celebration of new life become a focal point in your home.
