Mallard Attitude

This mallard isn't the real story. Just as I snapped this I slipped on the muddy embankment and tumbled in the mud... camera and all! I was a mess but was more concerned about the possible damage to my camera. I headed home and spent the next hour carefully cleaning. Thankfully all is well and no damage... to me or the camera.

So good to read, that you did not hurt yourself, and also the camera is ok. A little dirt goes with the job. Nice picture, though.

[Gayle Sears]

You did a great job on the capture before you went down. Great shot.

[Sarah]

Oh, glad to read that you and the camera are both fine! And what a great photo!

[Danette Thompson]

Glad all is well. Great detail.

[Anita Campbell]

"Here's looking at you!".......

[Charles]

Great shot.

[Dianna Coile]

I'd take a fall for a shot this good! Glad all is well.

[Stuart]

Great detail on the drake. Anything for a photo, right? Glad all ended well.

[Carol Wiseman]

A case of "suffering for one's art"! This was worth it, Carolyn - you can see virtually every feather.

[Kim]

Wonderful color and detail. So glad you & the camera are okay!

[bkb in the city]

[karengail]

Glad u are ok! You will probably be sore. I wonder if the Mallard was laughing.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Well, prior to falling in the mud, you captured an amazing, colorful picture of this handsome fellow. Aren't you glad he didn't have a camera for catching your action. Glad both you and your camera survived unscathed.
