Cuteness Overload

Went to an arboretum, and came back with an unexpected haul (set here https://www.flickr.com/photos/62198876@N02/sets/72157644147693898/)

Awwwww

Any cuter and you would need a neutral cuteness density filter.

Very nice series. Especially the last photo....it seems he/she is walking off into the wide wide world....

nice series

I like these kind of surprises, you to to shoot landscape and end up crawling on the ground trying to get perfect macro of that bug you have never seen before )

Cheers guys

I was prepared to be skeptical but you nailed the cuteness. Good job.

Beautiful job with the cuteness.

I once heard that Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks. But I like ducks. So what does that make me? Nice Work!

[dinsy]

Yep, nice series. Especially the last one, surrounded by the little flowers and with that nice bokeh behind.

Excellent series. 8) Well done guys.

The expression of the chick in 8766 is priceless ;D

(No, you guys, not THAT kind of chick) :

So that's what can happen when a 200 f2L IS, a photographer with a good eye and a cute subject collide...

Some girl said to me "I bet that lens takes great photos"

Went to an arboretum...

hi dancook!

this a really wonderful series of cute ducklings. Compliments to you.

My fav is #6 with absolutely nothing to criticize:
Emotion, tech, sharpness, composition, golden rule... 100%

Followed by #1:
I really like the interaction with the mother duck.

I am a little bit distracted by #4.
The gosling and mother goose are very well. Especially the expression of the gosling.
But somehow it looks a little bit over sharpened, unnatural. If you didn't do anything there in post, then it is just me, not knowing, what a big white can do. If you did some sharpening, then my personal taste would say, it was a little too much.

But still a great series of pictures and all my compliments to you.
And thanks for sharing.
