The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos[1]), also known as the wild duck, is a dabbling duck which breeds throughout the temperate and sub-tropical areas of North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Probably the best-known of all ducks, it gave rise to most domestic ducks, apart from the Muscovy Duck. Mallards also look like a Call Duck but are bigger in size.
It is strongly migratory in the northern parts of its breeding range, and winters farther south; it is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. It also frequents Central America and the Caribbean, and has been introduced into Australia and New Zealand. It is now the most common duck in New Zealand. In captivity, Mallards come in wild-type plumages, white, and other colours. Most of these colour variants are rare but increasing in domestic collections.

Hello Fatih,
you had difficult lighting but you captured this duck very well. The back ground does look like an oil painting and works well in the composition.

Bonjour,

Bonne journée.

Hi Fatih.
You have shared not quite usual but very expressive shot. The duck is reproduced simply perfect. Great colours, crisp sharpness and nice pose. Shot is composed perfectly too. POV is also excellent. The water is colored surprisingly. I have no idea how you managed to do this. I also like your well detailed and interesting note. My compliments and best regards.
Alexei.

Hello Fatih,
They are lovely aren't they!
Very delicate capture of the feather coat, colours are well reproduced...
I like the diagonal movement in a fine composition!
Greetings,
