Cute pile of ducklings! The bodies are nicely arranged and good eye contact with catchlights. Cute.

Very cute little ducklings! I love the comp with the one duckling looking over the top of the other ducklings. Nice bg.

Very good detail/DOF, and the mostly green BG contrasts the browns of the chicks nicely Ray.
I agree with Gary, the eye contact and catchlights make this one great..Cute too!

Could it get any more adorable than this?? A big pile of cuteness, all captured perfectly. Makes me want to cuddle one. Just for a second.
