Hi Asbed, another great shot of this handsome mallard in an another bathing pose. Great colours and clarity with superb DOF. Many thanks for sharing this beauty.
Cheers,

Aha! You are saving a few of these. I am the same. Then I/you come onto a good situation, something similar to Tom Peak with his Eagle and Blackbird on a log...you just keep on taking and watching at the same time. When you get home if you have good results then you were blessed. Nice part of your series Asbed!
Bob

I keep wondering how you do it, Asbed!Everything is so clear, each droplet!
Very well done!

Hi Asbed,

Very nicely done as usual. I like how you managed to freeze the mallard's head while everything else is nicely blurred. Your picture shows the 'bath' action very well. You've captured the water really nicely, the colors are spot on and the image is nicely composed. TFS

Best Regards,

Martin

Wow, Asbed, ta photo est fascinante, je l'ai regardée longtemps avant d'écrire. Tout ce mouvement de l'eau autour du canard, les couleurs brillantes et très vives, la tête de l'oiseau très nette, tant de détails et de mouvement. C'est vraiment beau, le temps s'est arrêté à ce moment-là et merci à toi de partager!

Hello Asbed

An interesting look at this greenhead.
The plumage is all puffed up and shows well.
Lovely colours.
The action is well captured.
TFS

Hi Asbed.
Wait I think you have a new camera now. I don't remember seeing this on before in your profile.
The action is nice, and the droplets are stopped well. You might have a bit of underexposure, as the face on the duck is a bit shadowed.
When I used my coolpix, I would set it for landscape even on these shots.
Happy Canada Day

Hi Asbed, splendid mallard with fantastic colors, wonderful light on water, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi,

Salut Asbed,
Quel énergie! Intéressant ce moment ou on voit le canard qui semble vouloir prendre une envolé.
Merci,
Roger

Spettacolare cattura, ottimi POV e composizione con una scelta perfetta del tempo di ripresa che permette di congelare i movimenti dell'acqua, ma non ferma il frenetico movimento delle ali, buona nitidezza, belli i colori e gli effetti di luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Asbed,
What a thorough bath he is having...I like the way the beautiful bird is captured splashing around.

The water dropslets looks wonderful cpatured by your lens.The eye contact with the bird too is a good add on to the composition.The velvety green on the head of the mallard compliments the cool blue colour of the water.

Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

You've shown the movement well Asbed,
The mallard's really knocking out some water spray with its arse :)
Good comp & POV, a fun image.
Well done,
Howard
