Nice positioning of the pair, and good-enough focus on both for my taste, with very nice detail. I like the hint of environment provided by the reeds.
The unbroken carpet of duckweed makes a great background for this one, Allen. Nice depth of field to get both in good focus. Well done.
Hi Allen,
I like the surrounding duckweed and the OOF cattails in the BG. This pair looks especially nice in the soft light. Well done…Jim
The pastel toned duckweed and the positioning of the mallards in the image creates a fine effect. The positioning is nearly perfect. I might cut off a tad more of the reed just above the tail feathers of the male. You could very effectively use the patch tool to do this. I like the texture of the duckweed against the plumage of the mallards.
Hi Allen
I never knew that green carpet was called duckweed and are the two Wigeons eating it? Anyway the duckweed does make a nice setting for the ducks.

I think maybe they are eating the duckweed. They always seem to remain on the surface, so I assume they’re eating what’s on the water.
