[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After being a lurker for the past 3 days, I decided to join TN. The quality of pictures here are amazing and I believe the members will be of great help in developing my new passion of wildlife photography.

Just started (2 months) into wildlife photography and here's my first post to the forum.

A male mallard in flight. Taken from Marie Curtis Park in Toronto.

A warm welcome to TN, Conrado!
This is a nice shot of the mallard in flight.
Excellent pose with wonderful display of the colors on the head and wing.

I hope you enjoy your time on TN.

hello Conrado

and welcome to TN

you are starting your TN galery with a excellent in=flight
photo of the male Mallard Duck, with fine POV and framing,
i love the good free space you leaved in-front of the duck
to show us where the bird is going, fine focus with
great sharpness and details, the catch-light at the eye
render the photo more beautiful, TFS

Good flight shot of the mallard and with 1/1000 th of a second, you have done extremely well to get freeze the movement of the wings
