It's spring! There are baby ducklings everywhere. This little fellow (or gal) was hanging out on the side of the little concrete "canal" the family was swimming in. Rather photogenic, don't you think? (And there's no color to speak of so sepia worked very well in this instance.)

Would would have guessed 6.07 could be 92 percentile, or my 5.98 could be 90 percentile in a challenge. Voters were pretty tough, but this is a good image and at least got a percentile to match!

You captured some great detail! I love the softness of the fur, the smoothness of the bill and those little webbed feet! Beautiful!

Bang, you got me. Beautiful image and the beak came up so well with the tones. Fairly minor, but a more refined crop to eliminate the 'strays' make this even better, in my opinion. Nice clarity on the head. 8

Those feet really make the shot. Making a note to be sure to always get duck feet in the shot. 10
