richard hans 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Mari, another nice capture for happy & enjoyable family on great season! Best regards Link to comment
kirigoi 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Very cute picture. Perhaps a tip for the future is to see if you could get the family facing towards you. I know it can be difficult when there's babies in tow, but you could always try bribing them by throwing some bread! Other tips might be to get closer / use a longer lens and to be careful with the shadows; they look quite dark here and some detail is lost. If you shot raw the detail could perhaps be recoverable. Anyway, thanks for posting a lovely spring image! Link to comment
rivera r 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Thank you friends for your kind words. Next time I try to get them near. It was difficult. Regards. Link to comment
mike_palermiti 3 Posted April 28, 2013 Hi Mari,A well shot scene.As for the family orientation, I have encountered the same issues . I just sit down and wait. Often, these birds will feel comfortable with your presence and come toward you out of curiosity.If they are feeding, small bits of food can entice them to come closer to you if they have ever been feed before by people.Best Regards, Mike Link to comment

GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted May 12, 2013 Lovely capture Mari. We have a female that returns to our Neighbors pool every Spring with a new mate. I do not know if they have mated yet, have gotten a few captures but my lens limits me a bit. Another male entered the pool the other day and a disturbing fight erupted. They were both on top of the female at one point and she was for the most part, UNDER water!! I like to see this, the babes are born and all looks peaceful. Lovely!! Link to comment
