Let Sleeping Ducks Lie
This mother duck and her fleet of fluffy ducklings are sleeping in the sunshine beside a pond in Tivoli Gardens, in the center of Copenhagen, capital city of Denmark. These are Ruddy Shelducks (Tadorna ferruginea). Native to south eastern Europe, and central to south eastern Asia, they are commonly migratory and winter in the Indian subcontinent. Also known as Brahminy ducks, they are usually found in pairs or small groups, and are birds of open country, often laying their clutch of eggs some distance from water.
This photograph was post-processed in photoFXlab to enhance the detail of the feathers. The background has been simplified using a toned Buz Sim effect to keep your attention on the natural beauty of the birds.
A tranquil image, which would look wonderful on a wall or as a greeting card. Perfect for ornithologists, bird-watchers, twitchers, children...
