I'm reposting this photo. First one, deleted automaticaly because of I did not check the box ''to include my gallery''.I'm very sorry for valuable comments to deleted one.

I know, sharpness and overal technical quality is not so good. But as the pose is interesting, I'd like to share.

This pose has been shot completely by change. Actualy I was taking a crowded group of mallard. I realized this pose of three ducks, when I edit the photos. I cropped, and cleaned up using cloning by CS3. (original capture attached as comment below.

7D 400mm f/5.6L
1/1250
f/7.1
ISO-200

Your C&C appreciated.

That's a fun shot Basri, it looks like there are some artifacts from your cloning work around the beak of the back bird.

Yeah, this is a fun and amusing photo you captured. This would be a great photo to use in a contest to see who can come up with the best line about what the last duck is saying to the other two. Good capture and I think you had a good eye to crop it out of the larger image.

Perfect example of a picture in a picture, nice work Basri. This is what I call getting all your ducks in a row.
