Here is a closeup I took of a male Mallard. The picture has not been cropped. Let me know what you think.

Great image Rodney, cracking sharpness and use of light.

[Doug Brown]

Like the low angle, good eye contact, and excellent detail. I would tone down the whites and perhaps pull the saturation down a little.

[Joseph Przybyla]

I like it Rodney. I agree with Dough maybe a little less saturation of the green head.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Exquisite details, light and colors. It's a stunning duck species that doesn't get much love. Very nice image.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent close up. Wonderful details and colors. Agree with Doug Sir about whites.

Regards,
Satish.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I had wondered about the whites. I will figure out how to tone them down.
