These are such sweet little Ducks! Just lovely too, I always think they look fake with such vibrancy, hence the name I guess. Very crisp and simple photo, it's beautiful.

What a beautiful shot. I'd have faved it, if it didn't have this ugly watermark.

Gorgeous bird, love the ripples effect of the water that seem to encircle him many times over.

Is the duck alive? Or wooden?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SteelCowboy In reply to daleala [2007-06-30 12:43:52 +0000 UTC]

It is a real duck, but it's called a Wood Duck because they nest in trees. I believe they are the only Duck to do so. Sorry if I mislead you.

SteelCowboy In reply to kkart [2007-06-30 12:47:19 +0000 UTC]

I managed to get a few good ones that day. Harsh light, polorizer, broken sun, made it difficult to get a good overall exposure. I wanted so badly to get a shot sitting in a tree, but all the shots needed too much post production work to bother. Washed out highlights or lost shadows.

Wow! The colors are fantastic!

I thought it was a decoy for a moment but the detail you captured in the feathers tells me it's a real one.
Well done!
