About Checking back through my 2,000 holiday shots for anything half decent, I stumbled on this little fella! I don't know about you, but I reckon he's (she's) pretty cute! In fact this could become my cygneture shot! :o)

Best regards to all and a swift recovery from my little joke!

Very cute little guy. I like the toning you used. Not too sure about the frame though...maybe a bit heavy for such a fluffy little thing?

Kim Culbert   {K:36887} 9/14/2005
It's so cute! Love the toning and the way you captured both the fluffiness of the duckling and the darkness/ depth to the water. Great exposure! Nice tight framing, too!
I think less black on the frame would look nicer as well... puts more focus on the "little fella".


Flowers     {K:11018} 9/14/2005
Very cute!!!! I love the toning. Sharp image. Maybe a different frame?


Linda Bique   {K:74033} 9/14/2005
So tender and cute for sure...well captured and presented Chris...just adorable...Linda


Dave Stacey   {K:120173} 9/14/2005
As long as it's not your swan song, Chris! Nice shot of the little fella (gal)! I like the texture of the water in the shot, too.
Dave.


John Loreaux   {K:85872} 9/14/2005

Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 9/14/2005
Too cute! I love the PS work here. Dare I ask? It's gorgeous.


Ahmed Ismail   {K:19853} 9/14/2005
Its so cute...fluffy little guy! Lovely shot, Chris. Beautiful composition and the reflections are very nice.


Roger Williams   {K:83282} 9/14/2005
Everyone else loves the toning, but I'm afraid it makes the water look like a mud bath, not a bit like water. Also it's not very kind to the little cygnet--makes him look not only bedraggled (which he is!) but also dirty, which I doubt. Excuse my jaundiced eye... but I think you have many more photos that would make a better signature.


Fabio Ficola   {K:10466} 9/14/2005
NIce little one Chris.

It's so different from your usual shots, but really nice...

Take care Fabio.

Ps.: I'm looking for some "good" york's picture.


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 9/14/2005
Hi Susie,

Thanks for your comment. Here's the original shot for comparison. As you can see, the main PS work was to flip the little guy over as he was facing the wrong way!!

Best regards, Chris

I dunno, you and Mr Bowden are as bad as each other
