Although the male mallards are more colorful, I do like the more subtle coloration of the females as well. This hen was captured yesterday at the local bird sanctuary. Sun was over the trees by then, and it was much brighter.
D500 Sigma 150-600 Sport, at 600mm. f/7.1 1/3200s, ISO 800. Hand held.
Post: crop for comp, added canvas to left, selective sharpening.
Advice and comments always appreciated.
Cheers
