You had a beautiful clear day for this shot. Look at those reflections!! This is a really great picture. I took pictures of ducks the other day ducking for food. I will post it for Sunday, but my picture was in a shaded area, so not nearly as clear and beautiful as this one. I love your title.

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Congratulations with this image, marvellous! Yesterday I tried to shoot geese but my 10x optical zoom lens wasn't sufficient to catch them unnoticed, and they fled with their kids :(, and all I got was reeds with some vague goose shapes. There are a lot of beautiful water birds here but they are very shy except of course the common ducks. Thanks for your friendly comments!

@Illuci: That's such a nice compliment, thanks a lot Erik...ps I was very, very quiet ;)

This is really a beautiful shot Lorraine. Nature... my favorite. Forgive me for being a bit slow... when I saw "DUCK" at first I thought you do know they are geese. But then I burst out laughing at just how funny you are. Yes I get it now.

@Barbara: They're Geese? LOL You're so funny Barbara...believe me I don't know my ducks, but I do know their beauty, and yep I mean ducking in the sense you got ;)
