Shhhh, I would have given this a ribbon!!! This is ADORABLE! I just want to snuggle the little puffballs! The feather in front is a nice touch.

I really love this cute shot of the three ducklings, as it reminds me or a television commercial we had here in Australia once, for a "Kleenex" tissue ad.....
They are just so cute and cuddly.....

This is stunning and I really do hope you send it in to a greeting card company. It matches the challenge really well! You were spot-on with your aperture. The background being sharp would have taken the attention away from your cute subjects. I would probably try and sharpen the beak on the one at the back but other than that, I say "hats off to you". Well Done! I look forward to seeing some more of your photos.

Very Cute! Looks like my kids with one always yelling at another. Nice! That big feather in the front is a bit distracting but the colors are great. Love the grass detail.

sweet indeed

Great composition and color. Meets the challenge well. I would like to see it without the white feather in the foreground.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is really cute, it seems a little soft but its hard to tell if thats because the ducklings are so fuzzy or if its too shallow of DOF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/29/2005 09:13:00 PM
If you had an opportunity to reset this shot, it would be great if you could get rid of the feather and the moss?? in the foreground. It would have been a 10 then. Great shot anyhow!

Brings a smile to my face and see this as an effective greeting card.
Well Done - bumping to (8)

adorable!!

Nice shot. It looks to me like you did some selective blurring. I really feel that the picture is missing something because the feather and the grass in front of the feather is blurry and the grass on the left is in focus. I can also tell where you seleted around the top of the birds. A little work and this photo can be great.

Very cute and I think very fitting into the challenge. The soft quality of the feathers gives this a greeting card feel. I would have liked to have seen some catchlight in the eyes to be top quality. Overall, a very good challenge entry.
