I just spotted this picture and really like it. We have just had some baby ducks born and they have no water to play in apart from a bucket we give them. (see mudhut - duck in a bucket!!) Its a lovely shot althought the focus is a little soft but its very difficult to take shots of moving animals I know. Well done and keep taking nice shots like this.

Qute ducklings. I like the colors. The focus seems a bit soft.

Maybe recompose so duckling are walking into the shot and not out of it...love the colours and the general 'feel' of the shot

Sweet! Nice detail, especially in the foreground ducklings (goslings?). Really like this shot, expecially with the light color of the water behind their heads.

This is a cute image. I love animals. I like how cute and fluffy the animals look. I also like how smooth the water looks. Nice shot.

I like the shot. There's a distracting halo around the ducks. Maybe too much post-production?
