[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This two dugs are swimming in the small lake near my house.When I was going there for taking some pictures of swans I saw this two dugs,which are called:
The mallard is 56–65 cm long, has a wingspan of 81–98 cm, and weighs 750–1,000 g. The breeding male is unmistakable, with a green head, black rear end and a yellow bill tipped with black (as opposed to the dark brown bill in females). The female Mallard is light brown, like most female dabbling ducks. However, both the female and male Mallards have distinct blue speculum edged with white, prominent in flight or at rest (though temporarily shedded during the annual summer molt). In non-breeding (eclipse) plumage the drake becomes drab, looking more like the female, but still distinguishable by its yellow bill and reddish breast.

Hi Tobias.
Amazing picture. I like it very much. Quality of the shot is perfect. Wonderful colour palette, excellent sharpness and fine diagonal composition of the shot. My compliments.
Alexei.

unusual composition, but a very nice image of these ducks, the colours are bright and focused, the water really showing good reflective qualities...regards h

It is 07h24, I have no time, I will be back

Hello Tobias,
It seems like Lady Duck will follow where Mr Duck is leading..!
Good details have been captured in the plumage of the birds, attractive rich colours...
A well composed presentation, where the brownish colours of winter reflects well!
Greetings,

Hi Tobias!

I didn't realize that you are back. I have lost your trace during a couple of weeks or months and I'm glad to see you again!

You present us here a delightful picture of a wildlife scenery. I lkie the golden water very much, it gives the picture a romantic aspect and underlines the apparent harmony of the couple.

Kind regards

Markus

Toba,

Cheers, son!
Goldy
