Shot this mallard last January in Denver on the Platte River Which has many opportunities for waterfowl. As we have seen with Brian Sumps beautiful images. I wished she would have had some droplets. I couldn't get any lower shot from a steep bank actually think my feet were in the water.
Processed with Dpp 4,Photoshop, Topaz sharpen Comments and critiques appreciated.

I like the feather patterns, sharpness, composition and the higher angle is helped by the calm water and reflection. I am glad to see someone taking an image of such an overlooked duck, especially the female. Nice image Kevin.
Hi Kevin ... nice overall color palette and sweet light . Tonal range is well presented and I do like all the details
Comp works well ....
Interesting to see a different hue of orange/yellow in the bill and in the mirrored reflection .
