Captured this colorful ducky last year during Autumn, and thought his colors were relative to his surroundings.

Thanks for commenting.

I disagree with Richie Tigz, & reckon it's s female. The detail is first class, & I like the lighting too.

A duck of many colors and each one clear as a bell Tigz. Wait and see if it lays an egg and we will know. :)

I saw a couple of mallards today, but they wouldn't cooperate with me, so I didn't get a shot. This is very nice, Sandi. I like the colors and the superb lighting.

Amazing detail. His bill looks like it is pure gold. Nice close shot, Tigs.

He is absolutely beautiful. Great photo dear. I love ducks....They are actually a very smart bird. We use to have a bunch, but they weren't as pretty as this one. =)

Mr Mallard looks very burnished - I like this very much.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

This is a really colourful mallard and you have captured him in his full glory. He merges into the surroundings well too.

Just saw this in the VB and gave it an "8". Thought I'd stop by to say hello and see who submitted something better than the 4's and 5's I had been seeing. You have a very impressive gallery. Have a good one.
