I like the IQ, details, composition and sharpness is done perfectly. A real beauty Andreas!

[William Dickson]

What a great way to spend a couple of hours Well done Andreas, I feel as though I can reach out and touch

Andreas,

I am afraid to reach out and touch, the subject seems so fragile, so delicate. A fuzzball, a golden bundle. Beautiful colours and warm tones, sharpness is spot-on - I would not expect less from you:)

That foot stretched forward, about to step on those leaves and just slightly bend them, or maybe not - this gosling must be light as a feather. Feathers like hairs - so fine, and a few wet ones too. What a lovely capture Andreas, very appealing.

I like the framing for it allows a glimpse of the environment, great POV- the subject appears so small in comparison with those tall plants.
Delightful, well exposed, carefully processed, and yes, ready for print

Warmest regards,

Nice low angle and overall presentation. I like the grass near the chick so we can see how little it is compared to its environment.
Always great to photograph birds not afraid of humans!

I am really liking this, very cute, but the IQ is excellent, Hope you post one with a parent also.

Nice low angle shooting of this fluffy cutie.

Hi Andreas, excellent low angle, good eye contact, and you have brought out the finer fuzzy plumage so well. The plants add a good depth to the overall image. I wouldnt change a thing.

Hi Andreas, should have kept this for Easter, but I know you have an 'awesome one' in the 'wings'. nice work.

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks thanks to all of you for your kind comments , much appreciated. .

Steve the wings are too tired at the moment to lift them , so the `awesome one `is somehow sleeping for the moment , but tonight another `easter bunny`will follow which i quite like . And to wait for easter is a bit long ..... they would be too large by then and loose the cuteness factor.

Thanks again , Andreas
