This is the sort of image that nails in the element of the conversational work. It makes one's heart skip a beat as it illustrates the deeper mysteries of life with with such warmth and tenderness. Ah, the sheer innocence of the animal world. Congratulations on your 5th placing with this charming image.
Very cute! Good clarity, which is hard to do with these little fuzzy things. Water looks nice. About the only suggestion I'd have is to try to give them some room to move on the right side. Nice capture, good subject for the challenge.
Lovely photo......very cute subjects, answering the challenge theme very well. The impact of the whole photo is strengthened, by all your ducks being in formation. My only nitpick, if I have to look for one, is that the bright reflections slightly distract my attention....perhaps try darkening the water, if youre a photoshop guru.
6 - Nice capture. 'Cute'. Composition is good, but I wonder if a fraction less at the bottom, not sure. Difficult, but an even sharper angle/perspective would have been good too, but then you wouldn't have been able to capture the good water ripples/textures as you have. Also difficult, but even more clarity/definition in the 'new life' too, make this even better in my opinion.
