My duck

I love the bird pictures that Sue Heck does (and several others too). So when I saw this bird at the beach in the back water I just had to try my hand.

@Featherstone You inspired this!

[Sue Hecker]

And I get to be first to comment! He's a beautiful mallard, and the water is lovely as well.

[Joan Robillard]

@featherstone Thanks Sue. I was pretty sure he was a mallard. He had a female friend too.

And isn't he handsome with his glossy iridescent head! Great capture.

@barbarajdonnellan Someday I'd like to get a lens that would work better for this long distance photo but for now I am happy with this.

He's a hansome chap,,, and I like the orange/gold highlights in the ripples.

@vignouse The orange/gold is actually dead grass. But it did add to the photo. Thanks
