 At the hotel pool. The staff keep trying to shoo them but they act as if they have a room key... I shot this with a polarized filter and cropped, adjusted levels and brightness contrast. Cloned a couple of water imperfection and a spot on the poolside.

That is just so awesome. I love how those birds will just make themselves at home anywhere. They look so fat and happy, but when they take off. . .they are something behold, huh?

This is a great capture!!!!

Cool shot, nice color, like the unique setting. I feel like it's awkwardly leaning to the right a bit. Maybe try rotating it to line up the vertical part of the ladder railing with the side of the picture.

Very cute! Lucky shot or are they pets?

Where is Tony Soprano? I used to have the same problem with my pool. I liked it, actually, but the "duckly evidence" they left behind was not looked upon as kindly by my family.

How CUTE!!!!! I always notice that this type of duck with the green & navy blue head and beautiful blue wings always hangs out with one of these brown little fellows. This is very creative and interesting! I like it a lot!

Now that's just funny! Love the colors and contrasts. Great composition. How did you get them to look so satisfied with themselves? :)

The exposure and colours as nice and image goes nicely with the title. However, I feel that the angle you have shot it from doesn't make it very interesting. I don't think the birds need to be shown that close and I feel that more of the pool area where they are look at would have made it more appealing.
