The photo looks perfect to me. Having the behavior is always great. Posted: 07/02/2024 22:12:42
Such ugly little not-duckings, but so wonderful a capture. Mom (or dad) is a protective presence. Good color, good focus, good cropping. All in all a great shot. Posted: 07/03/2024 01:28:32
Gorgeous capture. The positioning of the parent and the chicks is perfect, and I know how difficult it is to achieve that! One to be very proud of! Posted: 07/11/2024 07:42:48
Great capture. Only a minor observation as I prefer the composition with a little more room around the main subject. On this occasion I would have tried a horizontal composition, I think the image could benefit a lot. Posted: 07/12/2024 13:51:12
Well done, very sharp. You captured a very challenging scene where all the chicks are well posed, they certainly don't stay this way for very long. The vertical composition suits this situation very well. Posted: 07/17/2024 20:21:39
