Three ducklings in a row makes for an awesome cuteness factor, Sandy. You might play with the white balance on this one a bit. The ducklings have a rather dull look and the white cheeks look as if the WB might be a little cool.

Very cool image. Three squared. The “cute” factor is thru the roof. Maybe what Dennis said about the WB. Super shot. Worth digging up and sharing.

Sandy, they are just so cute. Love the reflections of them too.

5

White Balance corrected - thanks Dennis and Dave!

6

The revision looks perfect. Cute pose on an interesting log, interesting colors in the water, and good detail in the chicks.

7

Much perkier now, Sandy.
