    Default The underrated Mallard

    Out at a local pond, Was not even going to bother with these guys, but sometimes I look at them and am taken by how pretty they are.
    Just a lot of them!

    Nice photo. Unique look and quite the handsome fellow. Like the head angle, water texture, and change in water color above and below the duck. Looks just a touch over sharpened on my monitor (only on wings).

    Very nice, Dan. Love the green water, the pose and the low angle. I agree this is a pretty yet underrated duck.
    This image probably needs some CW rotation, and the whites could be tamed a little bit.
    I would normally have suggested a crop from the bottom, but the water is so beautiful that I don't have the heart to.
    Well done.

    Very nice. Needs a bit of clockwise rotation. The water is beautiful and I would take a sliver off the bottom. Beautiful irridescence on neck and nice pose. Good low angle.
