A pair of Mallard ducks meeting in the creek.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A romantic sight with fantabulous couple gorgeously illuminated as they whispered sweet nothings while floating in blue water.
Dynamic soft waves or is it ripples?

Sharply focused.
Nice square format centered framing...
I'd consider cropping a bit below for a closer look.

Thanks for sharing...

Looks like a romance could be starting to blossom out there! Your fine and central composition grants us an enjoyable look at the pair of them having a gentle nuzzle. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Very sweet pose of this mallard couple, nice timing to capture .
Well focused, clear image with good light management, colors and tones appear natural. I like that glint in both ducks eyes! Well composed and presented!

This is such a nice picture! I really like how the water looks. This picture is in great focus, and I can see all the tiny details! And I like how cute the two ducks look together! Thanks for sharing.

I must admit that I see this kind of thing most every day (except in the winter when the lake is frozen) and I would try to get a shot where the two do not overlap like this. The colors are beautiful and the details are excellent.

This is a cute couple. The green glow on the head of the mail and the refinement of detail and feathers of the female are impressive. The photo is well exposed. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The centered placement of the ducks warrants a good balance. The photo is well framed.

I like mallards they are very photographic and are very food orientated. Like the little waves and the colors are good, good focus and contrast.

Barbara,
A beautiful picture of this pair of Mallards billing & cooing on the sunlit rippled water's of the creek that is reflecting the blue sky above. The light catching the iridescence of the Drake's green head. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
