Absolutely fantastic Pamela. The colors, details, and clarity are amazing. Your time was wonderful as well. With temps, including wind chills, or -30 to -40 degrees tonight . . . spring is definitely not in the air here (LOL)!! Awesome work on this image!! #1054902

Thank you, Sharon, Kip, and Marcie!!!

It's been warm this week, but I'm assuming winter will come back before spring actually arrives. I guess the ducks were just anticipating...

Pam, what a great job! I like the fact you have all four Mallards and the detail you captured is great. The stop action on the water droplets is super. You and that new camera are getting along great!! :) #1055062
