That is cute! The angle of the shot of these ducklings lined on on the log is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

This indeed is an amusing shot so beautifully captured by you! Great timing and framing.
This is a wonderful shot of nature. . The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Thanks for sharing!

How Ducky!Four ducklings to her left,and,the rather plump one on her right.The straight line of the log they all straddle makes them quite the trapeze artists.The green of the weed and the clump of greenery,behind them, makes this a lovely nature photograph.
Regards,
Joanna

    Thank you very much! They must have good balance at a young age :)

    Quite a Circus Act I'd say!

Yes, its a very funny image you have presented here! Your fine and central composition captures a beautiful moment in nature. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

HA! This Is a great capture Grace. How interesting that the ducklings all lined up with mom on that one stick. I have not seen young Wood Ducks before. Nice work Grace ~ Steve

Grace,
A very beautiful & amusing picture worthy of Six stars but all I can offer is a Cyber SIX Star rating. The little Wood Duck with her five juvenile ducklings in a row along the floating log in the Duckweed covered creek... Mum looks as if she is giving her brood a lesson as she teaches them about a Duck's life.
Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

Amusing image of these ducks taking a rest. Who knew they could walk on water. And which one is the mother. Great shot of this lineup. Good focus with each having its own look. Good color.The green covered water is a good background. well seen and captured.

    Thank you! I should have probably mentioned that the mom is second in from the right :)

What could be better than having all your ducks in a row? Although I am not a fan of duckweed it sure looks good in this one. Good composition, great colors.

Very interesting,Grace!
It's almost as if they're nervous about something that might be lurking beneath the surface of the duckweed covered water,doesn't it? ; )
It's a fine looking picture,my friend!

This is a wonderfully sweet image of this hen woodie and her kids,all lined up as if patiently waiting for their family photo shoot! Nice facial views on each one.The texture of the duckweed makes a nice background for this family shot. A very enjoyable grouping!
