    Default Pied-billed Grebe Chick

    I made this at Viera. This little guy does not have much to flap with but I guess practicing can't hurt. :) I added some canvas at the top.

    This is about as cute as it gets :)

    Excellent exposure and sharpness....love the wing flap and a hair more head turn would have been nice, but I like it as presented.

    I can feel the exertion on his face as he tries to flap those tiny wings. Cuteness factor all over this. Great detail and colours on the head, and I like the pastel blue of the water.

    Axel:

    Really fun. Nice techs of course, but the action makes it, like the nice ripples, give sense of his effort to get up and flap em.

    Cheers

    fantastic photo! He is trying or acting as an adult, that is the way to learn by imitation.

    What a cutie......you make do with what you have at that age. Well done....especially the detail given "wet fuzz" is hard to process to make it look right.

    A perfect 10 on both, the exposure and cuteness factor! Great job, Axel.
