Ducks...

...motionless in the dappled shade of a quiet corner of Paimpont Lake this afternoon. seeking some respite from the 30C heat.

I like this best on black.

They wear feather duvets, Richard! It insulates them from the heat! Lovely shot!

[Yeshanghai]

So adorable

[nancy]

great composition. The ducks cooperated quite well.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent sir, great composition and, as usual, superb processing

[Janiskay]

Lovely shot and reflections.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Yes, I see that you too love reflections. It almost looks as though these guys are swimming in the sky rather than the water.

[Rosan]

Such a calming and peaceful image, really lovely.

[gloria jones]

Gorgeous light, reflections, tonoes

[Issi Bannerman]

They almost look like rubber ducks, there is so little movement. Beautiful on black!

[Rachel]

They've certainly got the best position for a hot day!

[john morley]

serenity , mindfulness, contemplation, deep breath, let it go.......thanks Richard for that moment of calm...

[Joan Robillard]

I am never happy with my pictures of multiply ducks, this is great. Maybe my ducks are too busy. It's like they are just saving their energy and cooling off.

[Francoise]

definite suspended in time look to this, plus sort of a floating in the sky feel as well.

[Danny G.]

The dappled shade, the tones, the composition - all lovely. FAV

[Ivan]

Super shapes and tones! Fav.

[Beth]

wonderful, the water looks like glass

[karengail]

Love how they each have their own reflection. Great shot.

[Tanja R]

Wow, excellent reflections on the water!

[Dawn Swingle]

Gorgeous, love the stillness.

[Alice McCarthy]

Perfect :)

[Margo Sayer]

Beautiful palette of colours, precious moments of inactivity. Methinks this would make a challenging jigsaw puzzle!

[Darinka]

Another brilliant reflection!Fav
