Comment from Donna Ruiz
Lovely little girl mallard. So nice that you captured the full reflection in the calm water and, I love that I can see her feet! Beautiful light management to present her in such a lovely way.

Comment from Tootie H2O
That is a perfect name. The simplicity of just the duck - water - and refection work perfectly for a outstanding piece of art! Colors are clear and light. Well done

A lovely lady in a beautiful setting that does not distract from her beauty. The details are very good and the reflected clouds are superb.

Comment from Kathy Banich
I love the mallards! I have several images, I too hope to eventually share. Your angle allowed for a perfect reflection and both duck and reflection are perfectly centered in your frame with plenty of room for her to waddle off. A sharp focus and depth of field allows the viewer to take in the fine detail of the feathers. Nice!

A real smooth shot. The water so still like a mirror it makes a cool reflection. You caught just a hint of movement in the tiny circling ripple. The duck is perfect. Great angle, super focus revealing much feather detail and that lovely blue flash.

Truly, like a mirror. Fantastic reflection. Beautiful patterning caught perfectly. She doesn't even look nervous or frightened. To be honest, it looks as though she is sliding on ice!

This is a lovely look at this female mallard! Your excellent sharpness and the lovely light render wonderful detail in the duck. The pose is perfect. Great reflection too.

It seems the lady stands in shallow water. I see her legs beneath the surface. The reflection is superb, almost mirror like. Your photo is perfectly focused and exposed. The refinement of detail at the plumage and body of the Duck is impressive. Light and colors are realistic. The Duck and her shadow are well placed into the frame right of center. The composition is balanced.

She is a beaut! You achieved excellent focus on her.
Her silhouette in her reflection adds good depth to the photo. Well done!
