Beautiful job on the exposure and focus, Peter, and I like the poses. DOF looks perfect to keep both in focus. My only nit might be that if feels just a bit tight-it's always hard to avoid filling the frame when you can, but dsometimes it's better to leave the critters a little wiggle room.

Hi Peter,

Yes the cropped version looks better than the uncropped. You captured some nice detail with the fuzzy baby down, the eye is placed optimally, and the water BG works with the scene too.............................Jim
