Super lighting.

Jim Maloney		14-Dec-2011 00:12
Now this one is an exceptional image Vern, even by your standards. I agree with the comment about a painterly quality. I always think it's a good thing to see how beautiful our common bird species are - we don't need to travel to exotic lands to behold the wonderful.

Hank Vander Velde		14-Dec-2011 00:08
Nice shot with good light on the ducks.

Ed R.		14-Dec-2011 00:05
They look like toys! Great shot!

Sandy R.		14-Dec-2011 00:02
Almost looks like a painting. Looks like you were there very early in the a.m. or late in the day. BRRR Must have been cold. Hope you bundled up.
