Mallards are so much fun to watch ! They are a favorite at the pond.
Like this unique pose you shot from above, she does look like she is doing the backstroke.
Love the ripples in the water and the way they circle her.
Well focused this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is correct,
Colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

Funny! It looks the mallard is attempting a back-float!!

The image is fun, entertaining and certainly carries a story. I like the way the water is rippling around the subject, as to create a frame within the frame. The image is technically perfect with focus, clarity, detail, and texture all coming together. How cute!

Beautiful. I love the unique angle of the male mallard doing his preening time. Prominent details and natural colors of the plumage and the water. Excellent lighting, focus, and angle. A refreshing scene.
