Re: Spring Ducks and a Bunny - Take Two
Very nice series Susan, enjoyed viewing.
What I like.
Nice shot of the Robin. Nice background and good balance in the frame.
Crop the shot of the male wood duck. You have what it looks like good detail and a great reflection.
Just leave him room on the left to swim.

Re: Spring Ducks and a Bunny - Take Two
You should start to see a bunch of geese there soon. There have been big waves of them flying over my house here in Oregon headed due north. Those Hooded Merganser's are freakish looking birds. The ducklings look even stranger. Very cool shot of the ringneck.

Re: Spring Ducks and a Bunny - Take Two
Very nice. I particularly like the merganser, but could you clone out the distracting bit of vegetation by his forehead?

I like the lighting on the bunny shot most of all. Nicely done!

Re: Spring Ducks and a Bunny - Take Two
I ADORE the bunny photo some might say a little to close at the front but I really like it! You might consider taking a little of the negative space from the left to balance out the closeness in the front.

Re: Spring Ducks and a Bunny - Take Two
Thanks all for the comments and feedback. Critique from this group is always helpful to me.
Brian, the geese have definitely returned! They are everywhere. In the mornings I hear what sounds like shotgun blasts all over this area which has a lot of farms. I have never been lucky enough to see merganser ducklings, but I will keep an eye out for sure.
John, its funny, but I did try to remove that fuzzy thing on the duck's forehead, but gave up because I ran out of patience in not making a huge mess of things. In fact, that splotch appears to be an out of place little feather. I will try again.
Barbara, I agree that Bunny does seem squashed at the bottom of the frame. There is so many of them here right now, I'm sure to have another chance.
Today, on my morning duck stake-out, I saw a coyote staring at me. I was in a little duck blind, but he knew I was there. I'll post a shot of him later.
