    Default The Proud Parents

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This image was taken at Viera last week of a pair of whistling ducks that are the proud parents of ten little ones. There were originally i8 babies but the survival rate is a real challenge for them. It was wonderful to watch the babies swim and dive and play around just like little children do.
    This was taken just as the sun was beginning to rise so everything had a golden hue to it.

    I might be inclined to crop it along where your signature is and a little on the right. Nice composition and I like the light and stillness of the water. Good job with my favorite ducks.

    Love it, I love the clean enviroment and the great eye contact, the almost exact poses and the color. Would've like a lower angle of view, but still is a great great shot! Congrats!

    I love it Judy, and I personally prefer the space you've given them.

    Loffly. Might need a bit of CCW rotation. As for the 18 little ones, I am pretty positive that that would be the result of nest dumping or possibly adoption...

    Beautiful, Judy! I'm sorry I'm missing Viera, but I wouldn't trade where I am now.
