here is a little text on the Mallard Duck

« Conservation Status

Although numbers fluctuate considerably and are probably
reduced from historical levels, the Mallard is still one of the
most abundant ducks in the world. It is a generalist and has
adapted to living in close association with humans.
Numbers have increased historically in eastern North America. »

Hi Asbed

A wonderful mirror-like water surface gave you a great opportunity to capture a lovely reflection of Mr. Mallard.

The bright ambient lighting conditions ensured you had ample light to work with thus resulting in good exposure levels, splendid colours, and nice sharp details from the relative fast shutter speed. I also like the fact that the monotonous repetition of having just the water surface as a reflective mirror was broken with the spots of earth and grass in between.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Asbed,

What an incredibly good reflection! This reminds me of "Mirror, mirror on the wall!"

I love your interpretation of this scene in that, you show it almost all in reflection!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

There is a truly unique look to the water...almost if it were a graphical representation of some liquid silver....something out of Hollywood...and this quality along with the bird and reflection are quite dynamic! Tres bien!

Hi Asbed,
Nice color and exposure, good detail.
What I like most are the full gamut of reflections, seen across the entire surface of the water here.
Great post & TFS!

A nice shot of Mister Mallard and his reflection in this natural habitat. The water is fascinating - there is a lot going on in there.
