This little goose became seperated from its mother as I was taking this picture. You can't see the mother goose however she is just a few feet away. This little guy eventually jumped off this bridge and and made it's way to safety.

Not much PP work done on this picture. I increased the saturation a little, cropped, added frame then resized. I hope you like this shot and as always thank you for viewing.

Don't forget to tell me what you think or how I can improve this shot.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
If you insist...
I like colours and "positioning", but prefer to see the whole legs. It would make the picture complete to me.

George

Fine shot Kevin

Hi Kevin,
This little duck is so cute. I like much the tension and anticipation of the next step well rendered. The tight crop on the leg would be easy to correct with PS!
Very nice and warm colors. Bravo!

Hi Kevin,
Charming capture of this baby goose trapped on this scarey bridge. His down feathers are seen in wonderful details and sharpness. A very tender moment.
Regards, Tom

a lovely timely capture of this little duckling contemplating her next move. well done, pal.

TFS & have a great weekend.

Nice work, we've all had a moment like this at one point or another. The lighting and colors are great and is the idea and the POV.
I think that finding a way to keep the full legs and feet in the image would have made the message even more complete and powerful.
Still great fun and interesting as it is.
Thanks for the view,
Wilt

Excellent color! A very cute little fur ball :) Nicely framed and I like the background. TFS and have a great day!

This is so sweet, and the colouring gives the image nice soft feel. Thanks!

Good day Kevin,
You have captured so well the angst of this little one being separated from the flock.
The detail of the downy feathers are great.
I have to ask Annie how to correct the tight crop of the foot in PS.
Well done! Joni
