Pond - Duck Pond

These 3 ducks were a fascinating trio, and seemed to pose for all the pics I took of them.

You must have been a site to see tromping through the mud to get all these great shots. I really like the ripples around the center duck giving motion to this scene.

Your street lamps are very tall Graham, is that a main highway? Lovely shot of the lake and ducks, it looks a nice area around there.

May be taken around the same time than the first picture of that serie but the atmosphere is different. An other beautiful picture. The reflections are wonderful.

Another good one in this series, Graham. Apart from the beautiful light, what I find noteworthy is the fact that although the shadows are deep, the ducks come up very well, indeed. I'd probably be afraid of so much shadow, but you've shown that it can be really effective.
