The photo and the text appearing unusual big in size. This makes it hard to view the picture and might kept some reviewers from looking at it. I have to stroll up and down reading and looking at the picture. Only at the thumbnail I can get a feel for the composition, but I think the composition works and has a good depth. The photo has realistic-natural color throughout.

Excellent colors & textures. Interesting modification. Great lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing!

Seems like you did a fair bit of work to produce the final very enjoyable image! Your fine composition gives us a good look at this lovely nature scene. Like the colours and detail you have captured. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done!

A nicely composed shot with all the ducklings separated from each other. The colors are very good and the ducklings are shown in fine detail.

Comment from Raymond Smith


Awesome photo, the only thing I see that could've been better is the focus, its' a little blurry which is normal since I take it the mother and ducklings were moving when you took the photo. A easy way to fix that is take the photo at a higher speed to catch them still. Otherwise awesome photo.

    Hi Ray, I take a lot of hand held shots so the slight blur could have been caused by that too. I'm always trying to fine tune my picture taking abilities. Thanks for you advice and the Great review! :o) Helvi

    This was definitely a moment I was definitely thrilled about. To have the ducks swim towards me and allow me to get this wonderful shot was a wonderful blessing. I know it's usually the other way around. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this image to this extent and blessed it with a six star rating. Thank you SO VERY MUCH Bunkie,! I am honored! :o) Helvi
