LITTLE MALLARD STORY 1

In a small pond, close to my house,a lovely couple of mallards appear every spring and stay there until summer.
This year they arrived a week ago and for the first time I took some picture of them.
At first I would like to present you the male. He is a beautiful duck and I think that the female is very proud of him. But if you look closer, you will see that it seems a little bit sad..
I will not tell you why now.
This will be revealed in a future posting :-)

Hi Anne. You have been able to get a very close up of this fine looking male. You have taken it with sharp focusing and fine detail. I like the way his featehrs still have water droplets on them. With such natural colour. i shal look forward to seeing his partner. well done TFS.

Have a good weekend.

Hallo Anne,
Die Geschichte fängt spannend an. Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Folgen. Der Enterich wirkt tatsächlich traurig an. Bitte dass das fröhliche Geschichte wird.
Liebe Grüße Siggi

Hola Anne,

un buen acercacamiento, destacando un buen control de la luz que permite observar bien esos complicados colores. Bonitas texturas y reflejos.
Sencilla y elegante en conjunto.

After having enjoyed watching this wonderful portrait of a male Mallard, I will now move on to Part II of the story, Anne :).
