Duckling

It maybe common, and not particularly glamorous or exotic, but this Mallard duckling was too cute to resist, thanks for looking.

1/400th @ f5.6 iso200 ( 80% of FF, 6 specular highlights toned down, and 1 distracting Lilly pad stem removed )

All C&C's most welcome and thanks for the feedback on my last post.

Andy... :smile:

absolutely adorable, good catch light in its eye and nicely blurred background.

Really nice Andy. I like the overall comp and the duckling is tack sharp with great detail. Nice light and exposure. Low angle is great. Well done.

Andy,

Great low angle, light and setting. Love the look you appear to be getting from the duckling and the details
