Photographers Comment
Thank you for the Winning Prize. In Southern California, Spring showers lasted almost a week straight. It was the first day after the rain, the Mallard hen took her ducklings out for a walk at the local pond. I layed in the wet mud on my belly with my Nikon D300 and a 500mm lens. The baby duck kept walking closer, with mama cautiously following behind. The extremely shallow depth-of-field was the result of short distance between the ducks and the camera. Andy Nguyen.
