Baby Birds

This is such an all-around great photo! The clarity and focus is superb, the yellow of the duckling and the blue background compliment one another nicely, and the cuteness factor is off the charts. There were many great photos in this contest, so judging was a challenge. Congratulations!

I really love this photo! The green background is very appealing behind the yellow baby. And you did a great job of capturing the chick in motion. Your timing was perfect; you caught him mid-step! I like that you left a bit more space in front of the chick than behind. Good composition. Congratulations!

This is a great photo! It really emphasizes the size difference between the duckling and the human hand. And yet the hand does not actually distract the viewer's eye from the duckling's cute face. The clarity and focus are perfect. Great job in this competitive contest!

I love this photo! The framing of the mother and babies between the leaves makes an already great image fabulous! The focus is sharp and the colors are pleasant and complimentary. There were many great images in this contest, making my job very difficult. Congratulations!

What a fabulous image! As you know, it can be a challenge to get a great hummingbird photo. So it was wonderful to see such a crisp, detailed image of this mama hummingbird feeding her baby! This contest had a lot of great entries, so well done and congratulations!
