Wow she is beautiful!
Her feathers are pretty.
Well framed and focused.
My favorite duck is Donald Duck ha ha. I love it when he spits nails when he's mad.

I love ducks too! They're so cute and Mallards almost always look like they're smiling. I love the warm golden tones in this photo. Excellent sharpness. Wonderful feather detail.

Aww! This lady mallard looks so sweet! This image is in great focus, and I can see all the small little details on the feathers. I also like that the background is nice and simple. Thanks for sharing. :)

She is beautiful. The close up shot is perfect. The refinement of detail is excellent. The photo is focused and exposed well and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The bird is well placed into the frame. The tight framing is superb.

A beautiful duck and a very good shot of her. Her colors are excellent and I like the gleam in her eye. A nice tight profile in a fine setting.
