Wonderful image. The colors literally pop off the screen. Well focused, framed really nice in the scene. Not sure what else I can say but great capture. Thanks for sharing.

Love the capture as the Mallard Duck stretches. Colors are great and very natural. The edit to clear the fog works well and your composition is good.

I have been told by a very reliable source that ducks do dance and one of their favorite dances is in fact the Hokey Pokey. That is why many fowl like to stand on one leg, so they are ready to put that one foot in at a moments notice. Beautiful capture. Ray

I so love the details of the feathers over those orange legs. Being foggy helps with the background. Male Mallards are really beautiful! Lovely how you were able to be quick as I figured he moved fast doing his morning stretches

This is a great shot of this handsome mallard, I love the detail and the patch of purple on that outstretched wing.
Focus and exposure are both spot on, and you've done a fine job bringing his detail out of the fog!
Ha ha interesting how different countries have different names for things, in the UK we call it the Hokey Cokey!

My friend , If you wanted to take a shot like this it would never happen! LOL I'm so glad you were camera ready and able to capture this shot! Love your little hokey pokey dancer. Looks like you captured the full stretch. Every bit of this duck is in perfect focus. Love the lighting too! This shot was pure FUN to view! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much my friend! He was so cute and very agreeable to have me close to him, they associate people with food unfortunately. I love ducks!

This is a wonderful stop action capture of a colourful mallard. Incredible detail and colours of the mallards wings, eye, beak and feet. Great blurry background which allows the mallard to 'pop'. Thanks for sharing Pat.
