Great reflections Mary, you could be very proud on your little, excuse me, big girl. Nice shot of the ducks and love the branches hanging over.
Take care,
Klaas

Very nice shot Mary. One more Duck and they'd have a Quorum. :) Did you distort the reflections, or is that natural?

Thanks Terry- I should have duplicated a duck for a quorum! If I remember right, I think I did very mild watercolour. But all those reflections were there.

This is a really beautiful image. Makes me dream of little lakes on sunny summer days. If I'm mean I would say ducks taste great :)

Thanks Dave- Roisin is delighted to see you mention her name - can't believe it's from so far away! She passed a little test yesterday and it was my humble surprise! Enough is enough - can't go indulging them! (PS. Don't worry I did laugh, and now get called Nessa as a nickname!)

To be honest I love this image! The perspective is just wonderful! The reflection of the light mixing very attractive with the shadow of the trees! The shadows and lightness have created different colours in many different directions! Just lovely! My best complement indeed!

Well done to Roisin on this lovely little trio. The reflections and ripples look wonderful as does the entire composition. These three males have obviously taken the decision to wait for any tidbits that might be forthcoming or, perchance, a lone female:):) so they are keeping an eye upon each other for any developments.
I love your words sweetie they are so very beautiful; I love too the combined effort to produce this very pleasing composition. My very best wishes to you.....Ray

Thanks so much Ray. You have really made her day of the dreaded test! She's well chuffed to see her name with such encouragement (just like her mum see!). Great to think of the duckies keeping an eye on eachother for competition! And I'm so pleased you read my words Ray. Thank-you.

Dear Mary
Well, Roisin did a fine job:-)I love this secret little world that these three ducks share. They also look as if they have a special secret, or maybe they“re just gossipping?!:-))
All the best,
Annemette

Thanks Annemette for looking and writing- appreciated as always. Roisin can't believe you took the trouble to write her name! A great lesson for her- that someone so far away cares. Much more valuable than the picture. Thanks Annemette. We love the idea of a duckie gossip! Think of what you said everytime we see ducks now!

Hi Mary!
You can tell Roisin for me that she needs to pick up a camera once in a while . . . talk about a natural! This is a great shot; reflections in the rippled surface of the water . . . overhanging branches adding a perfect touch of bright green color . . . and ducks huddled together. Very nice work!
Regards,
Doyle <-----
