Proud of my duck pictures!

I often tell my husband that I'm aspiring to be the world's greatest chicken photographer. Maybe I should be the world's greatest duck photographer too. Ducks certainly are a lot more fun to shoot (with the camera).

 

I took these pictures of my Welsh Harlequin hen today. I think they turned out well, and I'm bursting with pride. Isn't she a pretty girl? If any of you know anything about what a good quality hen should look like, please tell me what you think of her. She is a year old, and I think she's pretty good, but I am still learning.IMGP1228-2.JPGIMGP1239-1.JPGIMGP1221-1.JPG

 

Please enjoy my pictures!

I am glad you laughed. That picture makes me happy. Maybe I should frame it so I can have something to giggle at after a hard day!

I am not a specialist, just a duck lover.  And she is lovely!

And you have captured some of what endears ducks to me.  Thanks!

Oh my heavens, these are outstanding pictures!!!

 

Your camera catches the light, water, and color so well! Out of curiosity, what kind of camera is it? Gorgeous duck, by the way!

I'm the proud owner of a flock of wonderful chickens, ducks, and geese, 5 rabbits, 1 dog, 1 cockatiel, 1 betta, and 2 cats.
