Ha! A Tulip petal headed duck. Nice find Fred;)
I like the low angle POV showing the endless rows of tulips.
I have been sick since Easter, so am just feeling 100% now.
Nice capture ;)

Gorgeous mallard and photo shoot! He is very pretty with the red petal on his head. Beautifully centered, shadowed and detailed to perfection. Fantastic shot and eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and Good Luck.
Have yourself a great week-end.

Nice shot.
Perhaps he was trying out some new fashion styles.
I love the mass of colour in this photo as it moves towards the top of the image going into the yellow.
Well focused and centred
Thank you for sharing

A great shot with a curious juxtaposition of the mallard and the tulips. The colors are very good and the composition is appealing.

Sometimes evolution only allows a new species to exist for a very short time! Your composition does contain an element of fun, but the centrepiece is surely the blazing colour of the tulips. I feel you did well to resist the temptation to crop the yellow ones out. Fine effort!

Beautiful photo. Like the colors, exposure, tone and lighting. I see a place of beauty and so does the mallard who is looking for something to eat. I like the bed of tulips with the yellow background and this mallard just wondering in.
