You managed this hard to get shot of her Christian very well. Sharp focus on her, and not on the branches. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Had, like Raj and Don, at first sight the idea that the duck was sitting in a tree, but see now that's an optical illusion, because it's, as usual, swimming in the water.

Good capture, Christian.

Regards, Cornelius.

I have a different opinion than even Mr. C. It looks to me that the duck is standing on either a log, or a rock that is in the water. At first glance, I too, thought it was in a tree. I like the way the leaves in front are blurred. Excellent capture, Christian.

Nice capture of this mallard in her natural enviroment. It's a difficult shot to shoot. Bravo.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Like humans the female mallards have busty figures while unlike the humans mallard males are the beauties ! LOL
Sweet image.

Jim's right. She's perched just above the water level on a somewhat submerged log. Regardless, it's a relatively unique image of a Mallard. Good work, Christian

I like the blurred foreground. It makes the duck stand out.

A duck in camouflage I think Christian. Great depth of field.
