Oh, how wonderful! I love them all, especially the last one. I just love the light on the water.

Thanks helen, still a tad bit of a hard light, but not too bad. Should have held out for a little longer, but it was cold.

Thanks patrick, i like that one as well. I also learned that ducks step on their own feet alot.

Beautiful set, lovely colours, fine light. TFS

"I also learned that ducks step on their own feet a lot."

Yes, they can be really clumsy when they're walking, can't they. They make up for it in the water, and (some of them anyway) in the air.

Very nice crystal clear shots Primetime... My fav would be the 3rd one.

Geez, that looks cold. Maybe they step on their feet a lot because their feet are numb from the ice. I like the third one, too, because one doesn't usually see ducks being so clumsy and the ice makes for a killer background.
