Marietha, I agree with you this is really a very pretty male duck of some sort. Really great close up work. Great job & he does have beautiful colours.

Beautiful duck and you captured it quite well. I like this a lot. Wish I knew what kind it was. Excellent color and great clarity.

A lovely portrait of this sweet duck. Nice detail too & I can see why he caught your eye ... the colors are beautiful on him. Very well done Marietha.

Would say it's a mandarin duck, but it doesn't have the proper colours. Wonderful capture anyhow Marietha.

I think it's amazing how many colors and differences there are around the world. Nice colors on this subject and you've presented it well.

Very nice photo. It's a male mandarin duck without a doubt, but he looks a bit unhappy and not very healthy to be honest (or getting rather old) hence the duller colours in his plumage. :(
