Beautiful image. You have made a very common water fowl look very uncommon.

Tremendous color. One of the more striking images of this common species that I've seen.

Very nice light, Guy! The metallic golden reflections on calm water give this image an almost ethereal "still" look.
I liked it very much. Maybe I would consider to crop a little bit from the top side to accentuate the symmetry of the mallard reflection, but this is just a minor matter of taste. The image looks beautiful as is! :toast:

You've created a very wonderful mallard image Guy, beautiful light, the low angle is super and the look you were getting from the duck is great.
