River Stour ~ Blandford Forum.

I love the pose of the duck, Rosa. I love also the dynamism of the rushing water. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. It's a part of the river with many benches, so nice to sit and watch.
Cheers, Rosa.

Wowww... Un bel instant saisi bien partagé avec de superbes et magnifiques photos..!
Je vous souhaite une agréable fin de soirée et une bonne semaine en perspective.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Malik.
Have a good and safe new week.

Oooh, these are just fabulous photos Rosa. I love the ducks and the gull (and their reflections) in the main image and you've caught the water going over the weir and bubbling up on the other side beautifully.

The second image also has lovely water action and beautiful reflections of the sky and the greenery in the foreground anchors the shot nicely.

Another one to add to my (impossibly growing) list of places to visit...................

Have a good week.........tomorrow sees another step towards normality :-))

Thank you so much Keith. It is a lovely stretch of the river and you can walk along a lot of it. There are also a couple of really nice bridges, one old and one modern.

I have a growing list for places in your area Keith....we will probably pass each other on the road one day ;-))

Yes a step forward today. I had the same aches after my 2nd jab yesterday as the first, but OK now. Take care and enjoy the week.

Dos fotografías interesantes.
En la primera el contraste de la superficie reposada y tranquila donde los patos asean sus plumas en el espejo contratando con la parte izquierda donde el agua se precipita agitada hasta teñirse de blanco.
La segunda, supongo disparaste fascinada por las formas y música de la pequeña cascada, consiguiendo un bello efecto de “crines de caballo” en las aguas precipitadas. Very good!

Thank you very much Jose Manuel. It is a lovely stretch of the river with many benches to sit and enjoy the wildlife. The 2nd shot I tried because I am hopeless at photographing fast moving water. It is one of my better efforts ;-))
Take care and have a good new week.

Preciosa es la fotografía... por quedarme ahí. La vida tiene casualidades. El 10/3 fotografié algo parecido a esta fotografía, solo que en la mía faltaban patos y sobraban cables. Tampoco tuve la finura femenina (bueno de esto quedo disculpado, jaja) que muestras en la tuya; la mía es parecida, pero más burda. Te invito a que la veas compartida el 30/3

Haha, you are excused the feminine finesse. I didn't know I had it ;-))

Nice foot bath for our feathered friends!

Nice effect with flowing water !!!!

haha, yes! They were enjoying it!
Thank you for your kind comments.
Wish you a good and safe new week Nouchet.

Two beautiful pictures here!! I like the second one very much!!

Best wishes
Füsun

Thank you very much Füsun.

Best wishes for a good new week,
Rosa.

These ducks look as if they are posing for you, dear Rosa, what a beautiful capture and image!
The second image is very impressive in showing the water rushing with nice reflections.
Take care dear friend and have a happy new week ahead

Thank you for your very kind comments dear Adele. I am not good at taking water pictures, but I was quite pleased with this one :-))

You take great care too my friend, and have a good new week.

Wow ! Stunning colors and a great treatment, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.
Have a good new week.

belle soirée mon ami ! j'espère que tu as passé un bon we ?
bisousssss et bonne semaine

Thank you dear Angelique.
Yes a good weekend & I wish you a good and safe new week.
Bisous.

Hi Rosa
A very nice pair of pictures, which I like very much!
Both are really different.. Perhaps the duck in the top one is showing off to his lady duck....
I always wonder with waterfalls what is the best exposure.. very long to get 'angel hair' or very short to freeze the action.. What you have done works brilliantly!!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much. The ducks seem to like lining up along the waterfalls edge! I am not very good at falling water pictures. I don't carry a tripod around with me, so it's always the short action. This is one of my better efforts. Most of them are rubbish! Thank you for your kind compliment.

Best wishes and take care,
Rosa.

Mooi helder water deze rivier Rosa

C'est vraiment Magnifique ********************

Thank you very much Danielle.

BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS

Thank you very much Pam.

Lovely bird image Rosa.
Healthy week ahead.

Thank you Jaap.
Take care and have a good week.

Well taken Rosa

Thank you Nick.

Wonderful crystal clear water. It almost looks like glass in the second image. Love the line of ducks, their reflections and various poses. Completely at home.

Thank you Jean. There were ducks, swans and a lot of seagulls enjoying that spot.

★彡 Good work. Have a lovely new week 彡★

Thank you June.
Wishing you a good week too.

En voilà un joli monde qui profitent du soleil pour s'ébattre !****************

Yes they were enjoying it as much as I was watching them :-))

Die Bewegung des Wassers und die Spiegelungen sind sehr schön, Rosalyn!

Thank you very much Wilhelm.

Fine pictures Rosa. I like the ripples and and reflections on the water in the main image but love the upright duck and the movement of his wings. The gull in the foreground is probably thinking; show off! The mirror reflection in the second picture is wonderful, I like way it disintegrates as the water goes over the edge, great stuff.

Yes, I think the duck was a bit of a show-off Doug :)
Thank you for your very kind comments.

Take care & enjoy the sunshine,
Rosa.

A catwalk for waterbirds!:-) The reflections in the second photo are gorgeous.

Thank you Gudrun. They were certainly strutting their stuff :)

Lovely reflections and a beautiful set of images Rosa
