Hi Mike,
this is maybe a DD as Callie once called my ducks (Dinner Duck);-) This one surely has an attitude.
Well composed, good details and a great pose.
Well done, mf.

Hi Mike

I love the water droplets on the breast. These are clearly seen and it looks like this drake has puffed up his chest just for the photo. Nice timing. Thank you my friend and Happy New Year to you and your family. :-)

Hi Mike

Another very nice post from you!
The pose you managed to capture this domestic/wild :) mallard in is great and the sharpeness here is impeccable.
I really like those tiny drops of water from al-over its body!
The natural colors look great and the POV and DOF are beth excellent.
I'm not too sure about the note...is that the name of the mallard? :))) (just trying to cheer you up a bit)

Cheers and TFS

Hi Mike

Clearly you don't have a glass jaw. Way to go my friend.

This guy is full of convidence and pride 'cause he know's he is a looker and a wild one too (chuckle). Well captured moment, excellent timing, great colours, superb contrasts, and lovely sharp details.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Maybe he is displaying attitude in support of a certain Muscovy cousin. Nice capture.

LOL both duck and photographer have attitude :) He looks wild to me! Sorry to hear about the other picture.

The attitude and movement here are great. I love the stretched up neck

Hello Mike,
This is a great pose you caught from this Mallard. He looks very proud and confident ;) POV, details and color saturation are very good. I like these little dropplets on his head. Well seen and well done in a good composition! Thanks,
Claudine

LOL at your note! I was going to mark it "useful" but didn't see a place to do it!

Amazing sharpness, you can even see drops of water on the breast. Well seen, great capture!
