Very good image of this beauty, Joseph. Nice details and love the beak open with drops of water.

Great shot Joe, I think the mallard is a great looking duck. Love the pose and the colours on the bird

Nice with the open beak!

Ducks always look so happy when their bills are open! I like those three drops, and also the drooped wing on the water.
