Very nice photographs, subjects are great and the backgrounds really help to isolate the animal. I particularly like the ducklings and the Wood Duck Drake.
Stellar set Chris. I'd swear you posed each critter where you needed them, had them hold still, then snapped away. Bluebird and the pair of bugs are my favourites from the set. But that is like saying I prefer the Mona Lisa over the statue of David.
What an outstanding set of images Chris. All are exceptional. My runner up is the 3rd, and first place for me is the first, great moment and you captured it perfectly.
I dig the baby wood duck conga line.
