Safety in Numbers

Though none too sure about my presence, not one of these wee ones was willing to leave the safety of being together.

The sun shone so beautifully on this cute little huddle. It was difficult to improve on that but I was after something a little softer. Taking the image into photoshop I used a soft light layer over top and also removed most of the colour in processing. The result was a gentler scene that better showed the tender vulnerability of these young ones.

I shot at f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/400.
