On my way to a Dahlia Flower show, I stopped at the Goshen Dam Pond, and was pleasantly suprised to see lots of ducks, and swans. This was my first shoot of the day, and then on to the flower show for lots of Dahlia pictures.

I did alot of cloning to clean this one up, if you know what I mean, though it might not look like it. :)

Thank you for commenting, and hope your having a good day.

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!

A magnet pulls to iron. Ducks pull to you in a similar way with this wonderful image as result. Wonderful post, Sandi.

This is one of those wonderful compositions that opens up more and more as one stares at it. Sandi - quite exceptional.

This is one of my favs by you, Miss. Tigs - so of course I've faved it! The soft colors of the piece are different for you and the framing is perfect. The detail on the duck coupled with the rocks and dead grasses all came together for you on this wonderful shot -

Great composition Tiggs. The colors just jump right out and you did a good job of the cloning.

You did a good job on cleaning this up, nice angle you chose of the duck enjoying a quiet moment by the pond.

Beautiful duck with wonderful colors. I can't tell where you did the cloning either. Magnificent work, Sandi.

If ducks had shoulders, this one would be peering over his to check you out Tigz. Glad you made the stop.

I like that way you captured this duck. I like all the feathers lying around too. The bokeh is stunning too. Excellent work, Sandi.

Nice job, Tigs. Are duck butt shots allowed on this site? I guess they are, lol.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.

Wow! Amazing the difference in the two. You did a remarkable Topaz job with an already great photo. If it gets any better my eyes will explode.
