This is how it goes in the nature, it can be cruel.

Not bad at all but if I may be frank this is an example of a poor choice in aperture size or placement of DOF since the head of the mother is out of focus but the tail feathers are in focus. Like the colours, sharpness and contrast though.

Nice work on this one. The colors are great, as well as the composition.

Great shot but he head of the adult duck is a little soft.

Very good contrast colors
07/13/2005 09:28:55 AM
focus seems to be on duck's back and head is out of focus... larger DOF would have been better

Well done photo. Framed nicely. The water is beautiful. Only one duckling, huh?

Picture seems a little over sharpened with a lot of reflection off the water. Not crazy about all of the frame.
07/11/2005 03:54:54 PM
this would be a good print
07/11/2005 12:54:22 PM
I really like the clarity and the blue water, great shot,

Literally will be an empty nest. Well focused and cropped.

Aweeee cute image. I like the low POV. Mama's head is a bit soft, sharpening might help.

I can't resist a good duck picture. Love the blue, blue water. This is so cute.
07/11/2005 02:47:20 AM
Nice color, contrast and sharpness. Your water is so blue.
07/11/2005 12:58:39 AM
I like rthis one it is simple but works well would like a little more DOF 8
07/10/2005 11:53:49 PM
I like the title and idea here but think the angle is a bit too narrow
07/10/2005 09:17:42 PM
AWWWWWW Nice shot. You seem to be right on their level - nice perspective.

Very cute! Gives a nice, happy feeling! Nice detail on the ducks. The color of the water seems a little too blue. But this is still a good shot.
