GORGEOUS PHOTO!!!..MASTERFUL WILDLIFE CAPTURE!!!...EXCELLENT COLOR CONTRAST...I LOVE YOUR CLOSE-UP!!!...HAD TO BRUSH THE WATER-DROPLETS OFF ME!!!!...HEHEHEHEHEHE :) :)....BRAVO :)

Thank you. I just love photographing the ducks because you just never know what you are going to get as a photo when they are grooming.

so beautiful!

Thanks. You can tell that she was definitely enjoying her bath!!LOL!

Great photo and wonderful action shot of nature, you had the perfect camera settings as the water really holds its fluid appearance especially on the duck. FUN!

Thanks. getting the water to look fluid instead of an opaque wall is a lot harder than it sounds. Luckily the ducks are giving me a lot of practise.
