Hello dear TN friends, for my today's posting
i had another title but i decide to go with this one,

my other title was « The king child & the wonderful Mother »,
but i did some reaseaches in internet about the king child,
more in French « L'enfant Roi » , then i wasn't sure
if i could aplyed as title to this image, and in the
Hinterland Who's Who website on the Mallard Duck page
we can read « The Mallard is an excellent mother »
« excellent » i changed to « wonderful » in my title

i already posted an image of this wonderful
Mallard Mommy with his duckling, the baby
does not have brothers or sisters, these 2 ducks
became my favorite ducks of the pond near my home,

http://www.treknature.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=171662

each time i see them i am happy, because this
Mommy Mallard keep is child aside from other
ducks of the pond, and when they are with others,
this Mommy is always harrassed by the other mallard ducks,
today one female mallard harrassed again this female,
i was asking my self « why ? » today i saw another scene
that i loved very much, a young mallard male was to
harrass (harceler) this Mommy, well this little baby at his
turn attacked the young male telling him « go away »,
i was so happy, this baby is growing up and i am happy,

this image's luminosity it is not at his best, but i love
the scene of this image, the wonderful Mommy
let his child take the best place for the siesta,
i have done too a close shot of the duckling at that rock
and today i did a much more beautiful image of them
but that 2 images i will post them later in coming weeks

this photo was shot with my SLR-Like Fujifilm
bridge camera, at ISO100 and RAW format

Merci

Asbed

Hi Asbed.
Very nice natural scene. I like strong lights and shadows (they are looked very naturally for so sunny day), crisp sharpness of all details, attractive POV and perfect framing. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Asbed,another beautifull family taken in the natural environment,i like a lot your style as you know,beautifull colors and nice details,my best compliments,Luciano

This is adding such a human touch in a kind and genteel way. I can see through your eyes, the concern and love the mother canard has for her young ones. It is amazing how sighted people can share this love of nature.

Ci presenti un'altra bella immagine di scena familiare in uno splendido habitat; piace anche a me fotografare i germani con i piccoli, un'anatra molto comune; buona nitidezza, belli e contrastati i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Bonjour Asbed,
Ta photo rend bien l'attention que la mere canard porte a ses petits
Bien vu
Amitiés
