These images were taken this past weekend.

Wow both nice photos. For me I really like the first one, but the second one is cool just because of the fish catch.

I like these 2 shots, the firstdue to the colmness of the water. The 2nd because you even got the fish eye in focus...well done.

Wonderful shots & I have never seen a duck catch a fish before.

One thing I have learned from this site, is getting a nice low angle makes a huge difference in the picture

Dennis, that first one is very nice and love the colors in that shot. The second one is nice as well with the fish and good eye contact, and both have nice low angles.

Hi Wayne and happy that you liked these images. I have to say I really like the first one as well for the colours in that images and the bonus of a fish for the second one.

Hi Don, and thanks for your comments on these and I have to agree with your comments on this set.

Chuck, thanks very much for your comments here. The thing is that the ducks that we all see in the park don't eat fish at all, but the vegetation in the water only. These ducks are classed as Sea Ducks, and they will eat fish within the water as well as Crayfish. For information for you, there are the regular ducks we all see, Bay Duck and Sea Ducks.

Thanks James and glad that you are learning from others here and that is what it is all about isn't it. The low angle shots keep coming up in some of my images and I'm glad that this gives everyone an idea to try some of this out.
