Great to see one with ducklings, I haven't seen many images of this species, thanks for sharing. Angle and eye contact look good, too. I only wish the adult bird would not cast a shadow on the duckling on the right. If it were mine I would remove the vertical branch above the adult bird's back but this is minor. Keep them coming!

I allways wanted to see this species, great shot. I like the low angle, comp, sharpnes and pose.
Axel hit the high points about the branch and the right duckling.
Good work. :)

Great species and a very nice scene. Great light, and the color of the water is really complimentary.
