I am interested in some feedback on this image. I was captivated by the amazing reflections on the water and the mallard was shining so brightly in the sun. Comments/critiques are requested so I can learn. Thanks :~)

I love it! I forgot to ask what the reflections are from? Flowers on the shoreline?
Beautiful. I love that I can see the details of the feathers on the tummy!

Great shot, Mimi - tremendous detail on the duck, and the primary-colour reflections are not what you expect to see on a nature shot! Did you try any without the duck, focussing on the reflections? I'd think you might have got some interesting "found abstracts" from that.... Nice work :-)

The reflections are from masses of red and yellow tulips along the lakes edges. They were so brilliant in the sun and very, very rich looking!

Beautiful wallpaper Mimi. Agree with Simon that the bolder color reflections are the unique addition to this beautiful clear shot of the duck. So glad this one came in for a landing. ;)

what a cute little mallard :) the little fellow himself could make an excellent photo.. excellent details on this one! i must say, it seems to me like he's smiling :)

excellent lightning, too.. and the reflections.. i love those red and yellow coloured ripples :) i bet those tulips look wonderful, too.. but i'm impressed with the way you had managed to capture the nature playing with the colours :)

thank you for sharing this gorgeous work! enjoy your day :)

The colors, I think (humbly), are a little distracting. the pretty green on the ducks head is rather lost in the confussion of the reflections. They do make it unique and something different but I wish it wasn't so overtaking of what I feel is the main focal point.

I would like to thank all the people that cringe when they think of me. I ment well.

Hi Ashley...thanks for the comments you left on ~reflections~. I was concerned about the "busyness" of the image. In person, it was quite eye-catching. I love to learn more things about photography. Thank you for being part of my lesson :~)

Awsome lighting, colors, details and reflections. Mallards may be common but they have some of the prettiest colors on their heads when caught in just the right lighting.

The colors must be from fall leaves? So beautiful! For some reason I can't download it for my desktop, though.

It's almost like the mallard is leaving a trail of paint behind him. Nice.
