    Waddaya mean, all three are cute! I have fully learned to appreciate Dragonflies, they eat mosquitoes, and that is a good thing.
    Nice captures, I only wish the lighting on the Racoon was a little more flattering, still very nice.

    Which one isn't cute? Can't go wrong with animals and the dragonfly rocks.

    I like the dragon fly the best. Terrific shot, colors, focus. Nice job.

    Lava, all three are excellent. I like the racoon the best. But it seems like to me it has a bluish cast to it?? or is it my screen? Either way, the composition is just absolutely perfect for this little furry guy.

    These are wonderful photos. They have a certain romance. I like the softness of the color.

    These are all nice cuddly shots (Except the DF of course because you would smoosh it!). I have to agree with Shrackman that your raccoon looks as though it were dipped in cyan. Looks like a white balance or a photo filter that got over done since the background colors seem to be more appropriate for the scene. Love the colors and sharpness of the dragonfly. I would personally have given the Mama Duck + lings a little more space to swim around in but that's a personal preference.

    Love the photos! But I would have to agree with C.L. Kunst that more space for the Ducks would have improved on an already beautiful photo. Personally I think this would have given the image an element of hope!

    Good Job!

    Re: Two Cute and One Not

    excellent shots!!! all three are great, great color tones!

    my favorite though, is, by far the raccoon - the way its looking at you gives it a really unique feeling, and the way its coming out from the side of the tree is icing on the cake! very cool!
