Great captures for the assignment Lale. The first one is so simple and effective. The compisiton and DoF is very nice in the second. And the third one, well, let's not wake him up. Great capture of the sleeping duck..Nice work Lale.

Thanks. I love my trusty 70-210 lens, but even then it was hard to get close enough without scaring them all away...
