Lovely shot, Rob! This guy has been keeping you quite busy.:-P

Beautiful, sharp shot of this hen mallard, fotoi!

Ah ha...so they do like to swim.:-P Nice shot, and the colors in the water look great, Richard! It's kinda cool how that brown streak separates the two areas of blue.

This guy really has a cute little face. Nice shot, Tom!

Masterful shot, Jan! Very sharp image, on a great background!

Thank you, Mike.

Beautiful wood duck shot, fotoi, and the white ripples in the water are very pretty and unique.
