The day job is keeping me busy, so I've only had time for couple of trips to the neighborhood park lately.

Excellent work on these Christian. You managed the background clutter very well in the first two.

I like how the background rendered in the 1st two. They have a very soft dreamy look. Great details in the merganser shot.

Thanks, all! The ducks were shot in full sunshine, between 1 and 2 pm. I got the songbirds in filtered morning sun, just as heavy clouds were starting to move in.

Christian -

These are all great but I have to ask where you found open water anywhere near Philadelphia. Every waterway and pond or lake I've come across, with the possible exception of a few sections of the Schuylkill river, is loaded with ice!

If I had to pick one image, it would be the Common Merganser.

Chris,

I picked an ice free section of the Schuylkill, just below the Boathouse Row dam, which is also the engineered end of the tidal section. Shooting shy wild ducks is a lot easier when they're confined to a small area of open water like this. Only a group of about 25 buffleheads remained skeptical and kept their distance while I was there.
