Mallard in the pond

This little pond is not so far away from my home and was the place where lived the mallard couple I have presented a few weeks ago.
They disappeared, but the second male has chosen to live there, even without female.
And seems to enjoy the place...
Yesterday was a rainy day and the duck was swimming a little bit from one end to the other.
Because of the covered sky there were some amazimg reflections on the water. Having only my 60mm macro-lens I tried to take a picture of this idyllic scene.
Hope you like it.

Larry

Hi Anne.
It is simply amazing. Your shot looks like painted by Great Master picture. Unbelievable beauty. Tremendous three-dimensional looking shot. Fantastic colours and transparency of the image. Outstanding details of the entire scene. Last one is a remarkable fairy-tale. My congratulations and thanks for amazing masterpiece.

Bonsoir Anne,
A fine tranquil scene of a male Mallard on a little pond.
I like the composition with the various water plants on the edge and their reflections, as well as that of the Mallard, in the water. The sharpness and lighting are superb.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amicalement,
Ivan

Ciao Anne, great capture of lovely mallard with fascinating reflections and splendid colors, I like a lot, brava, ciao Silvio

A very nicely composed shot of this beautiful mallard in the pond, Anne.
I like the natural environment, and the simple but very beautiful presentation.
Goldy

Hello Anne,
The unordinary hue of this green water works well with the bright green head of the mallard. I see you went fishing for bugs along the creek and all you caught was a DUCK.
Thanks for sharing your luck with a fine image of Pierre...
Steve

Bonjour Anne
très jolie scene avec ce colvert solitaire nageant dans un superbe décor, j'adore la végétation du bord de l'etang, les réflections dans l'eau et les details bien nettes du canard
merci pour le partage
