Hi Eduard, the duckling looks very nice with the open beak and those newborn feathers. I could see cropping up from the bottom and adding more space on the right. The breeding image is really nice too - a fine behavioral capture.

Eduard, the duckling shows very good details with a nice wake and that open beak. I do wonder how it would look if the duckling were somewhere off center.

The water draining from the female’s beak in the mating picture is a nice catch.

Two fine images, Eddie, though if I remember my biology correctly, you have the order reversed :grin:
Detail in both images is very good and I like your compositions.
