Comment from Linda Bickston
Kristi, congratulations on your win. The committee definitely has chosen well. This innocent photo has captured a very important moment in this little ducks life. Just beautiful in the placing of the subject, not directly in the center, but off to the left in order for the viewer to anticipate the future. Excellent work.

Oh my goodness! This is just all kinds of cuteness! Ducklings are such a favorite of mine! This one is just precious! Well photographed with good sharp focus, the image is clear to view, well controlled exposure, the colors and tones appear natural, nice detail throughout, well composed with a nice placement of this duckling in the frame, he's about to get into the water, good timing to capture before he went in! Very well presented, it's a pleasure to view! Best to you in the contest!

For an untouched photo this is really good Kristi. Perfect placement of this little fellow in the frame. Nice sharp focus and very good color rendering. A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the voting ~ Steve

A cute little duckling in a great pose. I like this composition and think the colors are great. The detail in the duckling are fantastic and the image should do well in the contest.
