When I took this photo I was focussed on the wood ducks. Looking at the image when I got home I thought the goose was part of the story too and a funny one at that.
I really like this photo, Belinda. There’s impending interaction (or not), but the anticipation is part of what makes this picture tell so many stories. The wood ducks could be saying, “What do you think, dear? Should be invite him to the picnic?”
Fun title and fun photo, Belinda. These two males are so beautiful, and do look like they’re carrying on a conversation. Then the C.G. in the foreground does make it an unusual party.
It looks like the goose was trying to hear what the wood ducks were saying to each other, as your title implies–or maybe an alternative title might be “Overseen At the Lake.”

Who would have though so colourful a bird as a wood duck would work so well in black and white. Great pic.

Oh, this does beg a good caption! Duck One: “Why does he keep staring at us?” Duck Two: “Beats me! Maybe he’s jealous of our good looks?” ๐

Lovely composition with the goose, I like how itโs softly focused and leads the eyes to the ducks.
