Hello, after reading Kathy's (writerscrawlz) critique :
«...there's serenity, peace, hope, and tranquility...»
i am editing my image by adding it to Bob's (eqshannon)
PEACE AND LOVE theme

here begans my first notes :

Hello, today i am presenting you this
beautiful Miss with her reflection on the water

from the ALL ABOUT BIRDS this webpage :

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Mallard.html

« The widespread Mallard has given rise to
a number of populations around the world
that have changed enough that they could be
considered separate species. The "Mexican Duck"
of central Mexico and the extreme southwestern
United States and the Hawaiian Duck both are closely
related to the Mallard, and in both forms the male is dull
like the female. The Mexican Duck currently is considered
a subspecies of the Mallard, while the Hawaiian Duck
is still given full species status. »

Bonjour Asbed,
Magnifique photo de Dame Mallard! La réflection est parfaite, belles couleurs naturelles.
Beau travail.

Miss Mallard is very lovely as is her reflection. She looks so peaceful in her natural setting and terrific catchlight. As I've mentioned before when it comes to birds, I strive for the perfection I usually see with your work. I see a wealth of emotion here - there's serenity, peace, hope, and tranquility all in this one image.

The overall composition earns you top scores. Wonderful job.

Hello asbed,
Though the 'miss' Mallard is not especially, the combination with her perfect reflection make this a superb image. Technically superb and the composition is just right.
One of your best, I would say and TFS!
Into my favourites!

Hi Asbed,

Miss Mallard is very lovely indeed. The details of her face and plummage are wonderful. An amazing reflection with almost as much clarity as the duck herself. Great shot!
