I really love this cute shot of the three ducklings, as it reminds me or a television commercial we had here in Australia once, for a "Kleenex" tissue ad.....
They are just so cute and cuddly.....
This is stunning and I really do hope you send it in to a greeting card company. It matches the challenge really well! You were spot-on with your aperture. The background being sharp would have taken the attention away from your cute subjects. I would probably try and sharpen the beak on the one at the back but other than that, I say "hats off to you". Well Done! I look forward to seeing some more of your photos.
WOOOOOT! CONGRATS on fourht, Sue!! GREAT shot! I'm working on getting Nico DQ'd based on some conspiracy theory I have, so hang tight for a ribbon. ;-)
Very Cute! Looks like my kids with one always yelling at another. Nice! That big feather in the front is a bit distracting but the colors are great. Love the grass detail.
If you had an opportunity to reset this shot, it would be great if you could get rid of the feather and the moss?? in the foreground. It would have been a 10 then. Great shot anyhow!
Nice shot. It looks to me like you did some selective blurring. I really feel that the picture is missing something because the feather and the grass in front of the feather is blurry and the grass on the left is in focus. I can also tell where you seleted around the top of the birds. A little work and this photo can be great.
Very cute and I think very fitting into the challenge. The soft quality of the feathers gives this a greeting card feel. I would have liked to have seen some catchlight in the eyes to be top quality. Overall, a very good challenge entry.
