It is a nice pose nice BG did you use NR it looks soft from the neck to the beginning of the eye

Sweet image.
I like the comp and the erect position of the duckling with the slight wing blur.
Agree that image looks a bit soft around cheek. Looks like an easy fix in PP,

Ha ha! A chick pretending to be an adult. How cute!
A little more sharpness definitely would be good.
Great pose and low POV otherwise Dan.
Well done mate!

Cute as it gets. Little tweaks noted above will make it all the better.

Hi Dan-- lovely pose and nice low POV , agree with the sharpness thing , it needs a boost in that department as it appears a bit soft . Increasing the saturation will also help to boost the BG . TFS !

Hi Dan, a big cuteness factor here - gotta love those tiny wings for a wingflap. Your vertical comp works well.
