Not something I usually photograph with them being so common, but I liked this shot and hope you do too.

Good ol Mallard
Not a great deal to post at the moment as I'm still not getting out, hopefully over the next week or so I will have something to post, for now here's a shot of a Mallard Duck.

Perfect, Mike. The low POV makes it even more intriguing!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
Mike as your photo shows there is great beauty in the common. Wouldn't our lives seem a little empty if we didn't go the the local ponds and see a couple of Mallards loafing about?
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo Mike. I enjoy coming here and seeing what you have. I am never dissappointed. Your photography is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klaus, getting low down to the water always makes these shot look more interesting.
ReplyDeleteTa Lisa & Denise you are too kind.
I gotta get that lens. LOL
ReplyDeleteMine is a Canon but I need a longer lens as most of my shots are taken in my 80x100 foot backyard and sometimes I need something to get out to the edges.
This is a magnificent shot. The details are fantastic as is the color.
If I could take a photo that good of a "common" Mallard, I would be perfectly happy! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the ducks. I like looking at someone else's photos but when I take them I guess I just want something new that I haven't done before. This is a great shot and the detail is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIncredible details and beautifully composed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Mike. I like the low angle you got .
ReplyDeleteI do (like it that is!) Great viewpoint... looks like you must have been almost submerged... Jane
ReplyDeleteWow thanks everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteMallards are very common here too, but the beauty of your photo is not so common. You have highlighted much of this duck's beauty!!
