Another colorful capture.nthe angle of the shot of this mallard's facial is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Good close-up of this drake pat and the water droplets add a nice touch as well,good low angle really makes the most of the subject,slightly darkish but seems to add drama to this...Brian

Always love the Mallards with their satin green head which contrasts nicely against the yellow beak and brown plumage. Your colors are realistic and the drips add to impact. Nicely composed with good focus.

Thank you so much Shannon, I am sitting right next to this pond, the ducks come right up to the edge, I shot this with my 300 mm lens.

A beautiful shot of this mallard drake. His iridescent green head is nicely captured and the three water droplets are fantastic. A fine portrait with great colors.

This is an excellent capture of the pretty duck; it almost looks like a painting. Greatly focused with true natural colors and a wonderful composition. I really like the off- center framing.

Your stop-in-action shot is perfect. The water dripping from the beak seem crystalline and suspended in the air. The drops on the head look like transparent pearls. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of color. The Mallard is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Comment from DebbieK
Fantastic photograph of this duck. I like the droplets of water around his head. The deep blue of the water brings out the colors of the duck. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Well composed. Nicely done.

Wonderful composition of this duck that is dripping some of his water on his chest; the blue color or colors framing this portrait so nicely; the details on the duck, including the eye contact and beautiful colors are pleasing to view.
