Estética presentación Hilary con una hermosa composición, arrancando con un osado pero efectivo encuadre del ave y un excelente colorido, gracias a una apropiado uso de la escasa luz disponible (lo imagino por la lenta velocidad de la captura).
A pesar del escaso DOF, el foco es muy bueno así como la agudeza con la que se perciben los detalles del pico y el plumaje.
Una gran entrega... muchas gracias por compartirla.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Aesthetic presentation Hilary with a beautiful composition, starting up with a fearless one but effective framing of the bird and an excellent coloring, due to an appropriate use of the scarce light available (I imagine it for the slow speed of the capture).
In spite of scarce DOF, the focus is very good as well as the sharpness with which the details of the beak and the plumage are perceived.
Great post... thank you very much for sharing.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Great closeup of the mallard. I know how difficult it is to get that irredisent green head right and you did a great job. Lighting, focus, colors and details are excellent.

Your framing and composition rocks on this shot. The colors are so very beutiful. Looks like you focused on the breast of the duck and the DOF causing the eye to be a tad OOF. None the less very pretty shot.

This is a great shot of these often-photgraphed, colorful ducks - the composition makes it work really well,

Hi Hil,
Watched your clicked pictures. All are fabulous; impressed with every composition of yours but why did you crop this picture so tight?
