You gotta love those little bald heads. Cute shot. I'd crop down just past the three white spots and a little off the bottom. I might also consider giving them equal catchlights in the eye.

Thanks Allan I think that's good idea about the cropping. I was so taken by the babies I did not even notice the three dots. All I did in photoshop was to crop and a little usm but no catchlights . The picture is as I took it. Thanks again for your suggestions. Regards judylynn.

Love these little scruffy guys with the bald heads. I would crop off the top too. Looks like you need a bit more DOF to get both in focus. I would focus on the nearer of the two and stop down to f/11 next time.

Judylynn,
The critiques are concise and need no additives. I like this image.

Hi,
very nice; hope their momma doesn't drown 'em.... coots do that :cry:

I agree about the DOF.....less so about the crop.

Excellent and endearing image. The image will look better for the cropping suggestion without the three white dots even being a factor.

I love these little guys.....so different than the adults. Cute fuzzballs for sure. I'd go with the cropping suggestion as well. Nice job!
