Beautiful view of the lily pads and the young ducklings as they explore their big new world. I love the story you captured in this image, Yves, and agree with Debra that it would look great on your wall. Well done!

Thank you so much Heather. It sure will be part of the next 20x28 inches printouts. It cost me $50 to get a photo printed and stick on a foam core. ( I already have the wood frame )

I really like this shot Yves. The little ones are camouflaged very nicely amongst the lily pads. The heavy cluster of pads in the bottom left corner makes a beautiful foreground leading to the mother watching over the little ones further into the frame. I can’t quite explain it but I think this image would look wonderful printed and framed.

Thank you so much for the very appreciated comment Debra. Agree with you about framing the photo on a larger squale. You know that my photos are free and can be downloaded any time.

Description
The young teals venture all over the place far from the mother. The mother will slow down and let them discovers because this harsh terrain is where they will feed on a regular basis. At first I thought they were easy preys but it is not at all. Has you see, It is very difficult to spot them in the large field of lilly pads.
