Mallard

Mallard
Southern, California

As I look forward to the coming winter and duck season this male Mallard was already looking quite nice with his breeding plumage.
So this is the first duck shot for the coming season and of course a species that is very easy to shoot..... I liked the subtle hint of habitat and the background color.

Nikon D300 AFS 600 F4 1.4 Tc

Thanks For Looking
Jim

Great angle, light, details and the blue ripples add to it.

It doesn't get much better than this, Jim, congrats!

I am a huge fan of mallards, and this photo has all the right qualities.
You've nailed the colors with extremely well-balanced light across its magnificent spectrum.
Just duckie, Jim ! :)
