Mama Hooded Merganser and her 3 remaining ducklings. She started with at least 11 :-(
Overcast day so I angled myself to get the white reflection under the ducks. I like the starkness and the sense of vulnerability I see here. Though in real life I wish she would keep the kids better hidden!
PP - converted from RAW, rotated slightly, cropped, levels, white balance, increased contrast, touched up a few spots in the water, dodged/burnt some, added border, resized, sharpened.
