 Taken by a pond at a local University. There were a bunch of baby ducks. For some reason, this pose made me think the baby duck was feeling very successful. Maybe dreaming of flying.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
You got the cute vote .. I can tell by the comments. This is sooooooo cute it ain't funny.

Composition:
is a lovely shot but very centred ... which is a minor for this shot.

Subject:
meets the challenge and does so in a cute and fuzzy way.

Technical (Colour and light):
i really like this ...it is reasonbly dark which has been picked up by some commentors, but I don't see this detracting from the natural shot.

To grow its vote?:
Take it from another angle .. front on capture the look from the eyes ... hehehe (I think you did well with a nature shot)

Summary:
Great work ... fantastic capture.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Adorable! I love this one. Although I think lightening it up would help it out - check out the levels in photoshop - seems to be leaning pretty heavily to the left.

This is so cute. My eyes want it to be a little more in focus but it's a darling shot. Awwww...you can't go wring with baby animals!

I don't know if ducklings can feel pride; this one certainly looks like it can.
