No peace for these ducks with you patrolling camera in hand :) Nicely composed once again Fred with realistic colors and good handling of light and shadow. :)

A fine shot of this pair of sleeping ducks. I like the colors and think the detail in the duckling is very nice. A well cropped image in an unobtrusive setting.

Great photograph of this interesting duck and the little ducking resting in the grass and letting you to take this close up photograph. The composition, details and coloring is well presented.

Overall, a sweet photo of mama and baby. The contrast between the two nice, and the fluffiness of the duckling very cute. The focus seems to be on the mothers back feathers, but, knowing how things upload now of my own, perhaps there was more focus than this displays.
Thoughts: Perhaps consider a little more space - possibly in the foreground rather than 'evenly', to allow the pair to not just be dead centre of the overall shot and plonked into the middle, would also give interest to the composition? There is no real focus point that draws me in to continue looking, but rather just have the feeling, 'that's cute', then move on.
Overall, a pleasant shot, :) just a bit more interest would help composition wise.

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

The mother and baby are having a cosy nap! A fine looking shot! . The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Khaki Campbell Duck & her one remaining duckling resting asleep side by side on the grass, The duckling's golden down contrasting with it's mothers brown plumage. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Quiet a sweet looking nature shot posted here! Your fine and central composition grants us an enjoyable view of the two dozing ducks. Like the fluffiness of the duckling. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!
