Just like a female to do all the squawking and with four males following her she can get away with it. Very pretty setting with all the fallen leaves in the water. Soft lovely harmonious colors and perfect DOF and POV. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from snowblaze
LOL... I really like the premise of this photo -- she's a hot duck!

I do think the focus is a bit soft. However, I really do like that the viewer can see through the water to the bottom -- also carpeted with those beautiful leaves.

These ducks are so blessed. Look at the pond on which they float. Could there be a more serene place on earth. I think not. The leaves just add to the photo.

Comment from trishgoody
Very pretty with the fallen petals in the water. The colors are lovely and the ducks give this image lots of interest as those drakes set out in pursuit of the female.
Ah well. That's nature!
