Mallards mating

[Grace Scalzo]

Certainly not my most sofisticated image, but it cracked me up. This fellow was rather new to the game apparantly and she did not look too pleased. When he was done he literally fell off.

Grace:

Always seemed a bit rough to me, but since there are no shortage of Mallards, it must be working .

Her eye just above the water makes this one. Sharp and well exposed.

Cheers

Funny photo and your IQ and detail are very nice as usual.
I like the water, I don't know how it would be otherwise!

[Doug Brown]

Love the way her head is just barely above the water! Good eye contact with both birds too.

[Stu Bowie]

Good 'action' captured Grace. The greens on the male's head look great, and just love how the female seems to be looking back.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Fantastic interaction...Nice color and detail...Looks like the female wants to come up for air.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Another fine one Grace. the eye above the water sets this one off for me. Great exposure.

[Ofer Levy]

Fantastic behaviour and action shot!!! I think it needs some CCW rotation.

Grace, Nice action captured. I love how her head is just peeking up from the water.

[Daniel Cadieux]

That's great Grace! Sure is a smile maker I too feel there may be a need for some CCW rotation, even if just an illusion.

[James Salywoda]

Awesome behavior shot Grace nice low angle colors and detail.
