This little guys sure is cute on the ice. His colors look good and stand out nicely. The background pond also has very attractive colors and textures.

This is a nice profile shot. The duck is well focused and shows nice detail. I appreciate the realistic colors. Especially the deep orange of the fee draws the eyes. It looks as if the duck does not feels the cold.I am always amazed that ducks walk and lay on snow and ice. The duck is nickel placed into the frame. The photo is balanced.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
You're so fortunate to shoot these avian cuties this close!
Probably its because we hunt birds here that they shy away from humans!
Colorful plumage.
Well timed still moton shot...
Impressive framing...
Visually soothing backdrop!
Thanks!

Thank you so much! If I pull into the park, the ducks will run toward the car, they think I am bringing food

Looks like he is taking his morning walk unmindful of the weather!:) Nice shot of the bird! . The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Pat,
A beautiful picture of this handsome Mallard drake parading along the bank of the frozen pond wings slightly raised, his iridescent green head glowing in the light & his orange feet standing out in contrast to the white snow. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Nice shot! This is the duck my grandson and son-in-law loves to hunt. This year they were safe because it was too warm for them here. I only hunt with a camera. I have taken a lot of the mallard. I enjoy seeing your photography as it is always interesting to see.

A well composed shot with excellent detail in the duck. There is something about seeing them on snow and ice that is particularly appealing and this one is very nice.
