These ducks were very cooperative and allowed me to capture all three of them on the same rock. Here the hen is climbing aboard as the other two had already arrived.

Real cute family shot - the roiling water is key to this image and I like that you got eye contact from all 3

The action of the water makes this photo stand out. Nice grouping of the ducks. Thanks for sharing.

These little ducks must be adrenaline junkies! What a great story, and the roiling water really brings it home!
