I noticed a family of ten ducklings swimming towards me and they decided to stop and rest on some lily pads close to where I was sitting. Canon 50D, 500mm L lens, ISO 1600, f11 @ 1/250 sec, Tripod, evening light( 7:00 PM ).
Light angle is off, but the head turn saved the ticket :) Lovely critter, tight at the bottom for the virtual feet. Keep them coming!
Lovely sharpness and textures. The water in the BG looks a little odd. Did you open up the shadows a lot? A bit of NR may be in order. I'm fine with the crop as presented - the rippled lily pad provides a nice frame to the bottom of the image.
