Another Day at my Pond.

[dankearl]

Urban Pond, Portland, Oregon
I spend a lot of time at my pond.
I trained them to do this...
A female Wood Duck was supposed to land on the right side at the same time
to balance out the whole scene
but she missed her assignment...

Again, not loving the intersecting OOF ducks.
The widgeon is nice and sharp.
I wish you had concentrated on that handsome wood duck on the left!

Too bad there wasn't another duck on the right side to balance this out. Nice view of the wigeon.

Don't you just hate when the locals are unruly. Two beautiful ducks with great focus where it needs to be in flying and landing position. I like it a lot. Yes it would have been perfect if the two OOF ducks did not intersect, but I still love the moment imaged as well as it could have been.

I like the fanned tail, eye contact and sharpness. That Woody looks like he was cruising pretty fast towards you. The OOF ducks at the wings aren't working for me as well.

I like it, you caught the in flight well and the wood duck looks pretty good too. The two OOF dick don't bother me a jot - that's nature for you.
You're image is authentic, it would have been easy to get rid of the two OOF ducks .... but are they really so troublesome - really?? I think folks on this side of the pod are a little more tolerant. (I suppose I am going to get shot down in flames now!)
