I walked down to the pond today, in hopes of getting some duck photos. When I got to the pond, there wasn't a single animal in sight :( Feeling pretty disappointed, I started taking pictures of some nearby flowers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

After about 5 shots, I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. Thinking it was just a person walking to the pool, I kept taking pictures. The object kept moving, but didn't seem to be getting that much closer so I finally decided to check it out... it was my ducky!! This little guy turned out to be such a wonderful subject. He kept getting too close to me, to the point where I couldn't fit his whole head in the frame, so I kept having to back up. Finally, I ended up sitting down to snap some pictures, and he walked right over and started inspecting/pecking at my shoe, looking for food :D He was as real cutie.

Nice pictures! I really like the first one (of the duck).

 

 

 

Just wondering...what kind of camera do you have?

Thank you! :D I have a Canon 450D (XSi) and in these pictures I was using a 100mm f/2.8 USM Maco lens.

Great shots! The flower one is magnificent, as well as all of the duck ones. :thumbup:

Can I have him as a pet? Pleaaassee?

Duck #3 is magnificent, very good composure and contrast <333 all very nice photos :D

 

 

 

Although Nikon>cannon :twss: :XD:

I like them. :)

Good perspective on most of them (I can't really say anything constructive on this point) but the duck looks stuffed which gives me the creeps.

I love the pictures! #4 is my favorite. I'm a big fan of ducks, and elephants I used to draw them back in high school art class. Brings back memories.

I really like the first and second ducky photos. The colours are nice and soft too.

The ducky is adorable!!!!?!?!?! Apart from that, this is some really good photography. Where in the world do you live?

Thanks a lot :) I live in a small town in California.. about 45 minutes south of San Francisco :) The pond where I took these photos is about a 10-15 minute walk from my house.
