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!

Wow, not only a sky-surgeon but also an ENT doctor ;-) You flipped the guy, but it looks as if you twisted his neck. Great job !

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

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

Roger Williams Roger Williams   {K:86139} 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.

Kim Culbert   {K:37070} 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".

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?
