Touch down Mallard drake

[Suzanne Huot]

Sun at last .lots of ducks now at the lagoon .It was pretty icey early in the day and the ducks had to try and pick a spot to land safely

cropped to avoid mud bank which cut off half the reflection on the ice.

Excellent freezing of the action Suzanne. The light on the bird is too good. I feel that you could have cloned off the distracting mud patch on the left side bottom corner.

The head sticking out between the very good feather detail in perfect light, catches my full attention. Good composition and same as Vaibhav, remove the rest of the sand bank. Bravo Suzanne!

Wonderful landing pose and the BG really makes him stand out. Other than the mud at bottom, I'd also tone down his feet some. Congrats
