This picture was taken the other day with the Canon 7D and 70-300L and 1.4 Kenko telecoverter. I was trying the combination out all day long, and although I certainly didn't need the thing for this shot, that's the way it went. The light was pleasing to me, etc. 151mm. iso800, 1/640, f6.3. This was a snapshot that worked out nicely, I feel. I'll welcome your comments if you wish to share them.

Hello Jack, You have captured a big family here...but the BG and it's reflection as FG is too strong.

Jack,
I also like the light on mom and the water. And the very proud mother with the chicks you can see with nice head angles are great. Good composition. I might try to sharpen the two chicks in the front some.
This would also be a good photo for a water colour effect - I don't know if you have tried that but this scene already looks like a painting.
Lovely family scene Jack, agree about the front birds needing a bit of sharpening, they look a bit soft and hazy
Hi folks, what appealed most was the reflection. I will take your advice and apply some sharpening to the ducks in the front. A fine idea. I focused on the mother but certainly wish I'd had time to stop down. The scene was only available to me for a brief moment. I also wish the TC wasn't on the lens, but sometimes we must take what we can get. I shall slightly sharpen the chickies at front. O yes!
Very nice shot. Great head angles and the light is lovely.
Well done.
nice display of the entire family, it is always challenging to get so many birds inside the DOF. I agree with sharpening the closer chicks. you can also go for a tighter crop eliminating the vegetation the upper right to focus the viewer on the birds. TFS
Thanks, folks...Arash, a fine cropping suggestion...I'll try that and see what works...
Fabulous image of Duck family in habitat.Love the family,great head angles,lights and colors.
Hi Jack, great gathering of a family here, and I like the various poses of the youngsters and the proud pose of the parent. I felt your image needed a CW rotation, and applied Arash's crop from the URC. I also toned down the yellow's in the BG a touch.
Thank you Stuart! I like your crop and also the reduction of the yellows. Many thanks...
