It's awesome to see so many ducklings , she has 9 and I hope they all survive and grow, this is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones appear natural, I especially like the duckweed on the surface of the water bringing the green tones to this scene. This is well composed with a nice placement of mama and her babies in the frame. Well presented!

Cool,Grace!
This fine looking picture that you've presented us with here illustrates the primal survival instinct in action in an interesting and pleasantly amusing way!
'Good Show',my friend! : )

Yes, he does rather look like the leader of the pack! Your beautiful nature image has a good central composition. Like how the ducklings are closely huddled together. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

This is one thing we see in the spring and early summer. I am always interested to see such things. I live near a lake and see this and geese swimming around with their babies. I have seen some end up as turtle food but that is life. Interesting photograph!

This is a great photo! I think the one duckling must be the leader! Nice lighting and composition! This is definitely a pleasure to view! Nice work! Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes the little duck is making a head count I think. Its a well caught line up. Good focus and light capture. I like the green algae on the water surface, it adds interest and accentuates the overall colour scheme. It's an appealing view, I like it very much.

This is a fine shot of the bird family! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
