Sorry to tell you this, but these ducks are not dancing, they are gossiping. They're looking at their neighbors young teenage duck. They can't believe he just got a Mohawk haircut. In Jewish they're called "Yentas". All kidding aside, great capture........ Congrats!!

Your too much Richard !!! :)

I tried these guys but couldn't get both looking my way !!!! .... not sure what Gus was telling them to look :)

Hi Gus, Very nice soft colours and light. Love that cheek on the first bird. I might be out in left field on this Gus, but I find the bg a bit distracting. Not sure if getting lower and having both with leafy bg or just all clear water would improve photo or not...
