Frolicking Mallard...

I was at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida last Friday morning. While there I had the pleasure of watching and photographing this Mallard as it played and frolicked in the water. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Joe:

Great sense of action here, with water everywhere. Not always easy to get accurate focus when the water is flying, well done.

Not the most exciting water color, but not under your control.

Cheers

Excellent dynamic image, Joe.

A great shot of a greenhead doing the mallard wiggle-wash Joseph.
