A few weeks ago i`ve photographed some mallards looking for a good picture thar would show their sweet colors and this is what i was looking for.
What are your thoughts on this one?

Very nice and different view that shows the wings very well. Maybe just a little bit warm? That was probably the light, though.

I like the reflection and how it comes to an end before it is cut by the frame.

Thanks for the feedback Diane. I forgot to mention that, appologies. Here the hour was very close to sunset, thus the warm tones.

It is a good image, good detail in the feathers, but the color just seems wrong to me...not sure why.
