This morning was a perfect day for a walk and shots while it was freezing. To my big suprise these small ducks were hiding in a corner.
Wonder if some of them will get through the winter.

Hi Reina.
Excellent title and superb picture. I like pictured scene and moment a lot. Reproduction of the duck image is perfect. Blurred babies supplement the image nicely. Only BG is too “flat”. I think this is lens feature at some focal length. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Very nice take with perfect exposure showing morning shine. Lovely mother with siblings.

Hi Reina, I can feel the warmth of the sun on the side of this duck's cheek. The light is beautiful, and I love the green moss on the water, playing with reflection. The background with the little ducks is so nice. Thank you for sharing such a great moment of sunrising.

Hello Reina

The lighting is wonderful in this shot.
I love how it basks the shot in a warm glow.
The clarity is excellent with sharp focus and detail.
Nicely captured with the baby ducklings nearby.
Wonderful pov and dof.
The catch light in the eye is super.

Bonne journée.

Hello Reina,

Beautiful composition. I remember that last year I saw babies also rather late in the autumn, end November I think. Good POV and focus. Wonderful colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Interesting closeup Reina, I like the comp with those OOF ducklings in the BG. Nice detail and warm color..The alge on the beak adds a nice "yuk" factor as well..they actually eat that stuff! ;-}}
Merry Christmas!!

Hello Reina,
What a beautiful light you caught in this picture! I also like the framing and the composition. Focus on the mother duck, and the small ones softly presented like little bunchs of wool. Bravo
Thanks and best regards

Hi Reina

Cute shot but absolutely typical of the problems at the moment. The climate changes seem to have confused nature.

Wonderful POV, nice light and very crisp details on mum
