The geese have just hatched, this one is just a couple of days old. So cute!

I know it's not an exciting photo, but I just loved that little face.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Very cute subject, so soft and fluffy. That said, the subject probably hurt you a little bit because it is lacking the DPC Wow factor. That probably cost you a few points.

From a technical point of view, the depth of field is very nice. The foreground focus however seems to be a bit off. The really sharp part of the image seems to be the blades of grass just directly in front of the gosling. I would have preferred to see the gosling itself in sharp focus. It's not that the bird is not in focus, per se, it's just not tack sharp.

Concerning the exposure, the image feels a little bit underexposed. This could have been fixed during post processing with a slight levels adjustment. This would help the colours pop a bit more too.

I like the composition and the choice of using a square crop was a good one as it works well.

Sorry it didn't score a bit higher for you.
