A gorgeous shot of the Mallard ducks surrounded by the red bud tree blooms. So much beauty in this natural setting. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus, and good details and clarity in your image. Your choice of aperture and diffused foreground so lovely. Outstanding shot and thanks for sharing!

Barbara,
A beautiful picture of the pair of Mallards, a duck & a drake swimming together on the mirror still water on which they are reflected along with the tree covered in pink blossoms growing on the bank. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera technique & sharp focus.

This is a 6 star picture. I just dont have any 6 stars left. A very calming, beautiful shot of little husband and wife ducks going for a stroke. The purple tree blossoms hanging over is such a nice effect. The exposure is fine, framing and focus great.

Stunning capture timed well with the Mallard couple swimming by leaving a nice rippled trail on the water. The Redbuds are beautiful and their reflections offer a painterly like look.
Fine focus, Exposure and Beautiful POV.
Well done Barbara :)

A beautiful scene. I like the way the reflection is almost like an abstract version of the redbud trees. The mallards are well placed and the colors are fantastic.

Those flowers on the tree are such a lovely color and cast a beautiful reflection on the water that you have captured so well. I like how the ducks have entered the scene and that their colors stand out too.

They are about to be devoured by all that wonderful color, Barbara. Beautiful photograph of this pair and really nice reflection of all the flowers in the lake.

Looks like your pair of mallards are having a lovely romantic swim out there! The red buds are certainly setting that kind of mood. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!
