Two's company but....

I was trying to get a shot of this mallard pair at a local lake but they were intently feeding on grass since the recent snow melt. The ringed billed gull was following them everywhere for some reason. I thought this was an interesting grouping. Shot from vehicle hand held.

Cute capture and I like the caption. Well composed too. Many thanks for sharing Joel.

Pretty funny with the ring-billed in the BG. I would tone down the whites and selectively sharpen the gull.

Joel - Nice comp and lighting. The OOF water makes a great BG here. A few more degrees of HA on the Mallard hen would be nice, but how often are you going to find 3 cooperative birds? :)
