Congratulations to KirkB for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners


I was very fortunate to spend an afternoon with these little guys last week... there were four different chicks who were brave enough to feed just beyond MFD for me.
Surrounding habitat has filled in nicely and was reflecting some lovely colors on the water surface... love this pond.

Thanks so much for taking a look, all C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated.

These images are superb Kirk. I really enjoyed a slow scroll through them. Great low angle and a BG that strengthens the images.

It looks like there is more 'photographer' work involved with the youngsters to get the stand out images you strive for Kirk. Those are tiny subjects without a lot of dynamics of their own other than their fragility and innocence and you did wonders in capturing those attributes my friend

Simple harmony with light and mellow BG's lets these youngsters stand on their own in a lovely way. You didn't miss a beat buddy, you got the goods and the cuteness in the package!
1,2,3 and 4 are lovely and comfortable..........
5,6 and 7 got some sizzle...............
#8 a fine display of innocent youth
#9 poetic parenting.........lovely comp sir!

Good stuff at your favorite place and at your favorite 'level' on interaction

Karl
