    Love seems to be in the air for the Mallards , even though it's winter. Should be a large amount of ducklings , judging by the numbers of Mallard pairs.

    JOE:

    A handsome couple indeed. Interesting to see the size difference when they are side by side.

    I like the interacting head angles, good shooting angle, exposure.

    Cheers

    Lovely pair, Joe, with terrific details and sharpness. I really like their proximity here and how they are angled toward one another.

    What a sweet looking couple. The "mood" comes through loud and clear here with the drake
    looking plenty interested, and the hen seeming receptive...very nice image.

    This is as nice a mallard "couple" image you can ask for. I like the interacting poses, details, colours.

    I really like how they are angled towards each other and how you have shown the size difference.
    You captured the sheen beautifully as well and nice low POV,
