    Took this last weekend in the lake near my house. These ducklings are way behind most of the others in their development. Taken just before sunset. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Gorgeous lighiing Jim! The BK really makes this little guy pop. I like the space you left on the RHS of the frame.

    Just needs a bit off the bottom. The light and pose are outstanding as is the detail and great low angle.

    Jim:

    Soft light, soft fuzzy subject, nice comp, good shooting angle.

    Very sweet.

    Beautiful light on this little fuzzy one. Sweet low angle and water droplets add interest. Well done!

    Too cute, Jim. Love that warm light on the soft downy plumage and the smooth water. Well done. As my daughter would say "can I has one?"

    Hi Jim, sweet light, warm colours, and you have captured a good angled pose. Great location close to your house.

    Very nice light and colors. Perfectly sharpened IMO. I always have a hard time sharpening 'soft' subjects, but it looks like you nailed this one.
