Thank you so much Debra, I got a nice series of shots of this trio and it was fun getting them too :)
Impressed by the beauty of that one Heather. The subject is nicely composed as usual. I love the overall foggy blue tones. I don't know how you got that effect, may be a little fog between the camera and the subject. Mallard duck with a blue neck are my favorite. Cute that the ducks are looking right and the goose is looking left.
The foggy tones come from the ice behind the open water on the field and I like the contrast in tones it provided. The mallards were a bit leery of me and headed toward the goose while keeping a close eye on my movements. This was a very enjoyable photo shoot as I was surrounded by birds while standing outside of my car. You have such a keen eye for detail and I really appreciate your comments, Yves.
