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.

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? :)
