Another one of those bog standard photos of a mallard duck minus the bog of course. I couldn't afford one with the budget I had. And it's not like you can finds a bog when you really need one.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

The duck practically looks alive on my screen - I feel like I could touch him - very nicely captured.

If this shot doesn't go right into the Main Galleries, I will personally find the responsible parties for you so that you can beat them senseless.

There might be a zillion mallard shots on Caedes, but this one is superb. Love the colors and details of the bird and that background is perfection. Well composed although maybe a tinge too much area in front of the duck. Just a tinge though. Love the texture of his wings. One AC nomination, one fave and three gold stars.

I think he is a decoy, Wendell.
You are counting on a duck dinner.
Excellent work.
