Dandilion Duck- Mothers Day Portrait

Uploaded: May 14, 2009

Description

I have been following a pair of ducks in a neighboring pond. This duck has been busy I hope sitting on some eggs so I hadn't seen her in several weeks but she surprised me on Mothers Day by appearing in the pond with her "friend". She comes to me when I call, quacks alittle and then rushs off. I believe she the offspring from the mother duck I followed last summer until she disappeared.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 170.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Bravo Jane! Wow - awesome capture and love the story. The detail on the duck is spectacular. The colors and dof really make the image stand out. It's a winner in my book. Keep them coming. Best Regards, Steven #1127901
