    ...I was cute. (With all the lovely wood duck hens and drakes posted here lately, I thought it would be fun to share an image of a youngster taken this past June.)

    Very nice , weird, funny expression on this guy.
    The DOF makes the shot for me, perfect focus on that head,
    And a great angle. I would maybe take a bit off the top, the room at the
    Bottom is perfect, just enough reflection.

    Grace:

    This is very sweet. We don't see a lot of wood duck chick pictures posted, so appreciate it.
    Sharp, nicely exposed, I like the low shooting angle and comp.

    Like the fuzzy hairdo.

    Cheers

    Adorable! I like the low angle and the composition as it is.

    Grace,

    Beautiful image. Well exposed and sharp where it needs to be. Is this a crop? I would like to see more of the reflection if you have it.

    Oh my heart be still. What a loveable fluffball. Really like the unique comp here, Grace. Great capture.

    Grace, I was wrong on the crop comment, if anything a bit more room at the top would look fine.
    I should not view and post critiques on my Ipad, though the image quality looks great on them, the format
    does not really allow a full view of the photo. The comp and crop looks good on a full view screen.

    I would have instinctively composed this little fella centered horizontally...but good on you to offset it a bit...looks great like this!! The sidelighting is used effectively.

    Beautiful image. I really like the head on pose, great shooting angle, and love the side lighting.
    Well done.
