These two almost landed on me as they flew in, they were not scared of me at all.

Male & Female Ducks

Nice portraits. It looks like your ponds are full of gunk like the ones around here at this time of year. The ducks don't seem to mind, or maybe we just can't read their expressions well enough.
Mark

great detail and the reflection in the second is a nice addition

Morris

#2 for me

Both are nice Mike ~ Ron

Thanks Mark! Yeah with all the leaves and pine straw things are pretty messy around here, and as you said they do not seem to mind.

Thanks Morris! I looked at it without the reflection and I agree it does look better with it.

Eric

#2 for me. A bit of a better angle.

, Thanks Eric! They do like they were posing! Like I said they were not afraid of me at all. Well...the female kept her eye on me but the male could have cared less.

Thanks again!

Thanks Ken!

The male was hard to get in a good position. He did not mind me being there but he would not work with me. He kept staying around the reeds and rocks and it was hard to get a good clear shot of him without something in the way.


The female was on "guard' duty!

Have a good one

~Mike~

Beautiful shots! I,too, love the reflection in the last one.

Birdie

Fine shots, another vote for #2 from me
David

#2 for me also

Thanks David and Ken!

OK I went searching and I found a better "profile" for a portrait on the Male. I feel like I need to get the Male some lovin'!

So how about this one, better than the first one?

Pretty much the same pose as the female, they are wild ducks, not much I can do about that.

Thanks everyone I appreciate all C+C!
