Few days back, I found this goose with four chicks... three of them tucked under the feathers and the adventurous one hanging around. They got comfortable and allowed me to stay around for a long while and I managed to get few close shots! For processing I used Fractalius and Topaz simplify in two different layers. Changed opacity and used mask to reveal the underlying layers. Hope you like it...

Super cute, Indranil. Wonderful capture and treatment. Might tone down the light twig just to rt. of mamma's bill and just a tad more room on top.

Indranil, Brendan nailed the critique. I really like the poses and the effect softens it up nicely. Very, very cute-one of my favorites of yours!!:S3:

Too cute, Indranil! :S3: I love the poses, and the subtle softness from the filters enhances it very nicely. Very well done!

Indranil, the repost is excellent. The little extra headroom and twig tone down was a great idea. I like the balance you have achieved between the soft fuzzy and details. Very nice comp too.
Congrats on getting their confidence. That is always the crowning moment for me.
