Apparently, this bird found itself a comfortable and protected resting place.
Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color and the refinement of detail The photo is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Isnt she cute, sometimes they are on the silliest thing, She is waiting for someone to take her out on the water without her getting wet. lol,, Love the focus on the duck here. She probably thinks its a dock

Nik,
A beautiful picture of the Mallard duck watching you from her perch on the stern of the Row boat in Ross Castle down there in Killarney. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


She appears to be enjoying a cool day away from the males.! Nice shot! The light, and the composition have worked well and you have caught the contended look on her face very well. Good effort.

Comment from supergold


a very patient lady mallard; she is obviously waiting for the captain of this boat to take her to a long trip around Ireland; ..............

Hi Nikman!
While I must admit that 'duck pics' aren't my favorite type of image to comment on here at FAR I'll also admit that this one you've presented us with is pleasantly unusual and fun to look at!
'Good Show',my friend!

This is a nice image nikman. The colors are natural. It is framed well with wonderful DOF. It looks so content, with very nice detail in the bird. Nice image!

This is a cute posting and I like how well the wonderful markings of this duck are focused. She has good contrast to the boat and she looks quite content! Great composition and framing make this a standout nature presentation!

Shy swim and you can catch a ride. Clever scene and title. Good photographers know when they see a great shot and take it. Good lighting, crip and focus. Inventive and creative shot.
