yes this would make a great puzzle, I like the light caught on the ducks iridescent heads and feathers, lovely deep saturated colour makes them pop against the whit snow. lovely image.

I never thought about that but you both are right, this would make a good puzzle. Your focus, framing, and lighting are all good. You have captured this busy scene perfectly. Well done and thanks again for sharing. :)

Cool,Grace!
That's an interesting picture and I think that it WOULD make a cool jigsaw puzzle! ( Check out RedBubble.com! Several of my drawings are available as puzzles at that site! They do a nice job creating various types of merchandise out of member's artwork and photos! : ) )

Cool but confusing picture. Not something you see everyday. Nicely anticipated and taken. Good focus, good color, a lot of detail. Good DoF. It could indeed be a puzzle. Wells seen.

Just a closer crop to see nothing but ducks would make a good jigsaw puzzle. I think it would be good if you like a challenge. LOL! Not for me!
I love to see these birds. They are so pretty. My grandson likes to hunt them but had no luck finding them this season as it was too warm then.

    Thank you! I was thinking the same thing about just having nothing but ducks for the puzzle.

Grace,
A wonderful stop action picture of this Flock of Mallard ducks & drakes all vying for the cracked corn scattered on the snow each one for itself & to "hell " with it's comrades..I'm sure the hisses of the drakes & the quack of the ducks must be quite noisy at times not to mention the flapping wings. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

What a great title for this shot! It would make a great puzzle. I'm pleasantly surprised that you had so many of the ducks in focus with such a large aperture. Well done! Great white balance is evident in the snow and the bits of white on the mallards. A charming shot taken really well. :)

Sure, it's a busy image! No coyote at this time, no panic. Dinner time! I can't tell how many ducks are there in the composition, probably about 50, I guess. It's warmer for them that way. Amazingly sharp photo! Nice job, Grace!!!
