Hi Asbed,

It looks like we photographed the same birds over the last two days .. well almost. I walked upon a mallard family on my walk today. All together, it consisted of 9 ducklings and a very proud mom. I do have a picture of it but I am reluctant to post it. My wife loves it but to me, its lacking something - I just can't put my finger on it. Anyways...
I really like this shot. It shows this family in its natural habitat. I love how those little ducklings are sitting comfortably on a tree. I suppose they are called wood ducks for a reason :) Thanks for sharing. Great work.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Asbed,

Your notes always make me smile. This is a true nature shot with the Wood Duck and her babies in their natural habitat. They are so cute sitting on the tree and Mama (in very good detail) looks so proud of them. I love the setting too.

Hello Asbed

A super moment captured.
I think many people will admit they have never seen a family of ducks in a tree before.
The details are very good.
Well done on the pov.

Hi Asbed, I've never seen a wood duck in the wild, only through shots such as yours. I've obviously been looking in the wrong places. I need to start looking in the trees. This is a fantastic shot with the mother duck and her brood in the tree. She is training them early. This is a very good natural setting with great detail seen throughout.

Thanks, John

Hello Asbed,
How unusual to see ducks up in a tree and this Mum and her young ones look really great! Lovely natural feel about this fine composition with the family nicely in focus.
Many thanks, Ulla

I remember this family Asbed! Yes it is a nice place for them to sit and dry out. these types of birds always look very passive. very relaxed even in their hunting for food or bathing..or being submerged...what fun..Very nicely done in the series..

Hello Asbed,
A fine capture of a mother Wood Duck with her ducklings up in a dead tree. The POV and composition over the water is deligtful. A great habitat shot too, the water most probably being the cause of the tree dying.
TFS this fine image,
Ivan

J'adore ta photo, les couleurs sont vraiment belles et me rappellent celles des années '50, dans les vieux magazines! Elle a du style et de la gueule. En plus, les oiseaux sont vraiment beaux, la scène est superbe. J'adore le brune de l'arbre et des canards avec le vert "ancien" de l'eau et du feuillage en arrière-plan. Je trouve cette photo très belle, avec une grande qualité artistique à défaut d'être "classique" ;-)) Merci Asbed!

Hello Asbed

You've captured a nice family photo! I must say this is a first for me seeing this family resting on a tree. I guess it makes sense as they are Wood Ducks. Too cute! A nice composition.
