Mother Goose
Yes, I know it's neither a technical nor artistic masterpiece. In this case it's just the thought... Best wishes to all mom's out there who are doing their best to raise a healthy little family. As a side note, Dad was bringing up the rear of this parade just off frame to the left. Taken at Lake Easton May 10.

And the thought is what counts with a picture like this, Janet! The goose families where I am are all composed of teenagers at the moment - just a bit older than these young ones.

Cute, very cute!

Very nice Janet!! My only nit would be to add a bit of room on the right to give a better sense of motion to the scene. Providing a bit of a gap in the direction of view/travel for your subjects works very well!!

Spot on technicals and I like the vertical placement as well. They aren't in the middle vertically which works quite well.

Geof, coming from you, the king of cute with the little ducks - cute means a lot. Thanks.

Thanks, Janet, but this is every bit as cute as the pic I posted. And you didn't have to pick on a family that was nesting in a concrete flower planter to do it! :rolleyes:
