Male Mallard Colour Version

I did a B&W conversion of this, for the Flash of Red challenge, but I think I do prefer this one which shows the lovely iridescent green head:

Certainly the colour version for me as well, with the light enhancing the iridescent green around the neck , and lifts the Mallard from its background , whilst the b/w seems to be "flat " no sharp definition from the mallard and background ! _ hope this makes sense to you !! fav

I just prefer colour anyway. I find the colour highlights details I miss in B&W.
This is lovely

I'm always partial to colour anyhow, but, yes, his iridescent green head is lovely! I love the soft concentric ripples of the water around him as well! A beautiful shot, Joanne! Fav
