hello dear TN friends, this image's luminosity is not the best
but this is a image that i wanted and yesterday at the bigginning
of the night (7h58:47 PM) when i did this shot i was very happy

i want a photo of theme because in the pond it is been few times
i saw them the Mommy and the duckling alone,
this baby duck has no brothers or sisters

the photo was shot with the small Nikon compact camera
and in the exifs for ISO it is written ISO186

from the Hinterland Who's Who website :

http://www.ffdp.ca/hww2.asp?id=54&cid=7

« The Mallard is an excellent mother, however.
She will stop at frequent intervals to collect and brood,
or warm, her young. If surprised by an intruder, she is likely
to go flapping and squawking across the ground, as if injured.
This feigned injury may not fool a human, but undoubtedly
lures predators away. »

i decide to add this image Bob's (eqshannon)
« Peace and Love » theme because i think
it is an appropriate image to that theme

Merci

Asbed

Hi Asbed,your style is unmistakable,i like a lot this pic too whit the water half blue and half black and the very nices circles around the ducks,beautifull shot,have a nice day,Luciano

Hi Asbed,

I liked this picture so much that I did a workshop to try to lighten it up a bit. I hope you like it. The Mother and Baby are so wonderful within the circles in the water. Such a sweet picture and very well done.

Hi Asbed,

The circle of water is a perfect.. Well seen.TFS!!

Best regards,

Hello Asbed

Another cute duck capture.
The focus is very good.
Lovely lighting and colours.
The ripple around the mother duck and duckling is very nice.

Hi Asbed,

tfs and have a good weekend!

Hi Asbed,
I like the concentric ripples and cute babe at mothers breast.
The centered comp works for this..
TFS!

Hi Asbed,
Very nice capture.They seems very cute.Well caught and composed.
Thanks for posting.

You have created a peaceful time changing ambiance here Asbed. the "movement" or in this case tonality of the light is a nice transition and well seen. You are the canard man!
Bob

Hello Asbed,
It is your candid shot of Mom & duckling in natural surrounding. Light exposure is grand & image stands out even without use of flash with near complete ripples. TFS.

Hello Asbed,
I love the rings on the water around this Duck and her young one. It is very beautiful and both are sharply in focus. Fine details and lovely light and colours only a little bit too dark, but that obviously couldn't be helped. Well done!
TFS and regards, Ulla
