Linda you have done a wonderful capture of this beautiful female, the colors pop against the dark background. The orange bill is so bright, very nice. Thank you for sharing. Ray

A beautiful image. This low key exposure is fantastic and gives you a very rich color palette against a beautiful dark background. Nicely composed with crisp details.

I like this photo of a mallard. The head and beak show up well against the dark background. The position of the mallard is very good. The focus is excellent. Nice photo.

This Mallard is beautiful. Your photo has good depth and is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. Your sophisticated use of light emphasizes the elegant pose excellently. The Duck stands well out from the dark background. The beak of the bird seems to glow. The photo is excellent composed. The Mallard is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Wonderful photograph of the portrait of the mallard looking directly at you as you getting his picture taken. Excellent diagonal composition.
Good the on the bird and gentle ripples on the water. Great placement within the frame.

of course Linda: your female mallard is smiling at the camera; excellent sharp details, just a bit too dark;.................................

She definitely looks happy. Maybe she just had a great supper. Good composition, framing, focus and dof. Like the close up of her face. Thanks for sharing.
