Super cute little guy in a nice pose and setting. Excellent detail. No nits.

Well done Barb, I like the pose - looks like he/she is calling for Mom.

Techs look great on this Brab. The upper part of the BG looks like it might need some NR, but that is a small nit. The detail in the Gosling is awesome and love the open beak. BTW, how do you like that 70-300? Looks pretty sharp. I was thinking about trading in the 70-200 for one and was hoping for some feedback before doing so.

Kurt, I love my 70-300 IS lens. It works great for wildlife, birds, and even small things like butterflies.

Excellent portrait of this little guy Barb, the open beak makes the shot for me.

The open bill makes the shot; great capture.

Sweet image Barb. I think it could benefit from a little NR on the bg. If this were mine I would crop above the stick on the bottom and maybe leave more room on top if you have it.
