Photographer’s Note

I met these wild ducklings not far from the local runway in the desert. Guess the mother brought the brood to teach them fly :-) While I was chasing the youth for better composition the mother was doing circles around us and giving orders to the offsprings.
I failed to find them next week. Reckon planes served as an excellent example for them and they flew away :-)

Very nice and funny photograph Sergey. I like it much and the sun light that is in the back of the chick is great. It gives a good contrast.
Well done.

Bonjouer Sergey.
superbe.
ces oiseaux en contre-jour sont une brillante réussite.

You got the light just right, the glow around the feathers gives them an ethereal look, as if theyre fresh outta the oven!

Look at this little army! Great shot. I like the light reflection on their bodies. Nice job! Regards, Djenno

I didn't knew this word was in my vocabulary, but tis is what i would call 'cute' and in the cuteness scale this would come close to the 'cutest' very nice photo....

Excellent ! Photo très sympa de ces jeunes canards pour une fois sans leur mère. Bravo !

rjamin (1169) 2004-09-27 6:37

Very cute photo. The rim light accented very well because of the short rough feather of young ducks.

Un contre jour superbe. N'y a-t'il aucune compensation de la lumière retenue par l'automatisme ? Bravo et merci.

Sergey, esta es una tremenda fotografia, muy buena, muy buenos colores, me gusta muchisimo como el sol hace que sus plumitas se vean como un brillo amarillo alrededor, me encanta el titulo, muy bien.

Hello Sergey,
The strong backlighting gives a fantastic effect here!
Awesome repetition... I wonder what they are heading for, since they seem sooo determined..?
Very well done!

thaprem (2500) 2007-02-25 8:10

Sergey,
The light is what I like in this shot...Inspite of its simple looks, the frame is deeply complicated by the handling of light & the POV...
Cheers,
Prem.

Giis (258) 2007-03-16 23:09
