Thanks, guys. A couple of things: they're geese, not ducks.... and I left the duck in the background because the implication is that's the one being protected. It also strengthens the diagonal line of the composition. But maybe I just didn't do that great a job.
Eric, you accurately captured the behavior of geese, especially defending a home/nest site. Interesting relationship when we get too close at the wrong time. MFC
I like this Eric, I know exactly what you were trying to express or should I say what the ducks were trying to express? :-) I think the image would have had just as much merrit, without the extra guy in the top right of the image IMO. Nice capture. Mark J
