Great composition and shadow. And the ornament formed of duck's foot prints... imagine - bride walking through the aisle and the veil as long as the aisle.. :)

Nice shot, Greg!

This is great!
So much character in this shot. Nice composition and detail too. One to make anyone smile.
Well Done! TFS

Cette photo est vraiment très réussie Greg. L'angle de vue, les traces de pas, le canard et l'ombre dans une même diagonale. C'est superbe. Bravo.

What a great shot Greg. Great contrast and composition. You really did a great job with it.

Great composition. I love the 'foot' prints of his passage, and the shadow. And the frame does it good too. From the shine of the ice covered lake to the determined looking duck, is great.

drole, bien cadrée avec l'ombre, les traces de pas dans la neige nous laisse imaginer son dehanchement!

Hi Greg, great composition. amazing shot.
bye alex

Wonderful composition here Greg !!
You realize a diagonal from the upper left to the bottom right, using the footprint, the dug and the shadow ! all in the same direction. Is it by chance or have you noticed that before shooting ?
Bravo !!!

Hi Greg,
It's realy excellent.
Jérôme.

nice shot! the shadow and the footprints left behind is excellent....the white background accentuates everything even more....my compliments!

Wow! Very good! Perfect framing to see footprints & shadow. I'm surprise by the way he walk. The footprints looks more like kind of caligraphy, then very defined contour of a palmed foot! That's cool!

Drôle et attachant à la fois, jolie composition.

This one goes to my favourites instantly, Greg. What a shot... excellent composition though I'd have cropped a bit more from the bottom to make the shade end in the lr corner. I don't like the black inner frame neither. But who cares, your subject is fantastic. The way the duck lifts its paw... You captured that perfectly. TFS, TFS².

great shot, what to say ?
Excellent!

Excellent !!
Tout a été dit dans les commentaires précédents. L'ombrage, les empreintes dans la neige et le cadrage sont parfaits. Cette photo occupera une place de choix dans mes favoris.

Great shot. I particularly like the shadows.

Hi Greg
Excellent. A long time ago I could already see nothing as so good as this photograph. Congratulations.
I am pleased that I happened upon this taking. (translator)
Anna

Wow Greg; this is a wonderful shot!

This shadow, subject and exposure just look great. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Greg.
Wow great shot. Perfect.

Frans

je ne connaissais pas les traces que laissent un canard ! c'est fait !
génial la photo, la couleur, la netteté , l'ombre du canard, les multi arc en ciel sur la neige, pfffffffff bravo

Hi Greg,

Poor little duck! He looks so sad, yet determined. I hope you had some bread for him. He needs to come down south to stay warm.

I love the pattern that his web feet make on the snow. You can see the "waddle in his walk". Nicely Done, Lisa

now I'm going to worry about all of those ducks on frozen lakes.

Hello Greg.

Excellent picture, nice composition and colors.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

terrific! amazing moment and caption....

the perfect time and place.
one of a kind shot.
Regards!
