Thanks DT, Penny and Brent. This was taken about 3pm in the winter when the sun was low in the sky. I love the colors in the male Mallard and the plump female may have been sitting on a clutch of eggs. They were very leery of me! :-) CJ

nice color - the waterfowl(?) look terrific - they blend right in to the natural setting.

As Rod has said, the light in this photo is wonderful. Was it a golden hour shot? Good job. -dtallakson

I really like Duckies and Goosies, don't tell Tommy.

"Duckies and Goosies" will put me to sleep with a smile. Thanks Carole. -tv

I guess my scientific background is showing. How about "Duckies and Goosies" for a topic? :-D CJ

I agree Tommy the fowl part seems totally unahrty. I like the water part:-)

Ok so pink eyelids is out. "Feathers" still are evident. (I just think "waterfowl" sounds too biological for something so arty.) -tv

Well I don't know if I would call this an improvement but the lovely light makes it just as good. Excellent picy.
