Nice set of shots, perhaps a little more of the reflection in #2 which I think is the best.

Those ducks have to be about the prettiest thing on two webbed feet. Nicely done.

I agree, I would have liked to see more of the reflection too but the duck was too close (darn prime lens). I actually extended the canvass on both ends a little bit :oops:

Almost the prettiest, I think Mandarins beat them by the with of a feather ;)

Good shooting. You got a super shot of the hen. You don't often see her colours well displayed.

Say, Bea... Where did you find these?

I was at Bolsa Chica yesterday, but I didn't see any Wood Ducks!

That second shot is especially sweet, but they are all very nice!
