Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Timothy,
A beautiful picture of this Mottled Duck & her remaining duckling both with their heads cocked on one side the light catching the sparkle in their eyes & the shine on their beaks, while highlighting their mottled plumage as they stand out from the green foliage in the background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Nice little shot of these ducks and think getting down to their level has worked well have seen many animal/bird photos on here where people point and shoot while looking down this goes to show how much better a photo can be by doing what you have done with this...Brian
