Beautiful. Cute little guy. I would like to see the other duckling(s) or crop the left side a little to hide the other little fuzzball. I'm not sure I like the drops falling from the adult, but it's still a great capture. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Too bad the adult tail was cut off. If it was not possible beacuse of other offsprings, you could have cropped closer to the middle of the adult's back. Awesome timing with drop of water from both!
Awww, this is the cutest animal photograph of the challenge! Nicely done - I especially like the faact that they are also looking at each other which adds to the "opposite" effect. (8)
Clear well composed... the swans rear end being cut off is not a matter to me the image coveys a good message and holds ones interest, It is not a "perfect" opposite in the definitive sense so I give it a 8.
Good Luck in the challenge
Pretty photo. Like your opposites: big/small, new/old, baby/adult. Possible improvements: The cropping on the left appears to be trying to eliminate another chick, think you could bring it in closer--as is, it just feels like the tail is missing. The water droplet from the swan's beak seems to detract--try to shoot as many frames as possible on location as it's difficult to anticipate the little imperfections. Try to capture the light in the eye of animals--it just makes them seem more real and alive. Overall, nice picture--great color, texture, contrast. Lucky you to be so near such beauty!
All right! finally someone got the point of this challenge AND took a photo that has good composition, lighting and is in focus!! I love this shot. I love swans. Excellent - 10
