Good quick shot of this dozing mallard. Seems as though he was too tired to move. Nice up close details of the feathers an iridescent green head, especially of the eye. Fine placement and pose as he watches the photographer with a strange object in his hand..Lol.
Good background and complimentary colors.
Nice technique.

A very attractive shot. I like the rock he is standing on and the fine details that look great against that watery background. Well composed with fine colors.

This is a great photo. It is extremely clear and the details are sharp. It is cropped very nicely. It captures all the beautiful colors of a mallard.

Nice shot of the mallard here. He seems to be peering over his wing at you. Lovely movement, I the background, very calming. Great focus and details captured on the rock. The composition is balanced, the duck is nicely placed in the frame. Well done!

Beautiful close capture of the mallard drake as he is just about to sleep.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

Love the colors of these birds, one foot resting I see, very good focus for the details of the feathers here, the little feathers on the back tail, they curl up, so cute,

This is a nicely composed shot that has great details of the Mallard. I really like the soft blue background and his peeking eye. Great use of light on this enjoyable picture!
