Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Roger,
I'm sorry I've run out of sixes which this picture deserves. Beautiful picture f the mallard Duck watching over he ducklings as they swim towards her the low level sun giving her plumage a golden glow The reflections on the surface of the water adding an extra something to this beautiful image. Beautiful composition framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Nice image. Who could not like a mother Mallard and her new offspring. A classic photo.

The reflection of orange works well with the green foliage.

The ripples in the water add action as the ducklings swing around. It makes you feel like you are right there.

The only suggestion would be to lower the saturation a tad, it might seem more in balance with the scene.
