The day was horrible for shooting, the light was not great due to the overcast. ugh. Of course, the ducks were super friendly! I am happy with the way it came out... although, it could've been better. :)

Hi Lorrie...

I was just reading your comment about the light not being good because it was overcast. I found that quite interesting because I do a lot of duck/geese/waterfowl photos and I generally prefer overcast skies to direct sunlight for them. I find my good exposures come a lot easier in even soft light rather than harsh sun. This particular image could have had some rough shadows underneath or on either side with direct sun... I just thought I would toss that in here and see how u felt about it. :)

Surely that isn't a real magazine?! Nice photo 7

a crop on the single duck would look much better IMHO

Nice dof and pov. I don't know, but I think that a more colorful background would have added some more punch to this. But what can you do? You gotta take them where they are. I might have cropped out whatever that is up in the top left.

Cute shot, love the orange feet on the front fellow, would have been a good entry for the orange challenge also :) Great clarity and detail.

Real magazine? Sometimes I think people make up these mag names. :) If this really is a magazine, this would be a GREAT cover shot. The only thing would be to remove that rock in the foreground near the ducks right foot.

Great capture, very good "magazine" front cover. It has space and everything for the title. nice colors.

the 'white' area in the background would have been better cropped out, otherwise nice photo and good composition
