Peeking Duck
Male Mallard peeking over his shoulder at me18 total reviews

An interesting shot with all those ducks sitting in the snow. This one that likes to separate himself from the crowd is certainly eye catching. I might crop off the dark strip at the top.

Thank you Mike! It looks better that way :)

I like how the clarity and the lighting shows off so many different colors on this mallard duck. The different shades of green on his head really pop out against that white snow as well as that bright orange bill. The different shades of brown are showed off well in this photo as well. You can see every little detail on this guy. I also like how you framed him sitting off on his own, peeking over at you to see what you are doing lol. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)

Grace,
A beautiful picture of the sunbathing Mallard Drake head turned watching you in the background the rest of the Mallard flock also enjoys the warmth of the sun.. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

I've never seen a duck in the snow. This almost looks like a very good decoy. His colors are so magnificent. Very bright and markings are incredibly crisp. Thanks for sharing this. And thank you for the cent pumps on my photo.

Are you getting my good side? He said with a slight smile. He is a handsome duck for sure. He stands out in the white snow. Excellent focus and lighting in terrific POV. Great details and nicely framed.

Thank you! I think he looks like he has a grin on face, which is not easy to do with a duck bill! I appreciate you taking the time to comments on so many of my posts. Thank you :)
