Nice shot of the mandarins and the ripples are pretty too. There's something almost unreal about a mandarin drake's breeding plumage.

Beautiful shot, I think Mandarin Ducks are the most beautiful animals. Love the colors and patterns in their plumage.

They are so ornate, beautiful plumage (I sound like that Monty Python sketch with Eric Idle!)

Such a fantastic shot of these two male mandarin ducks. Their colors are so awesome. I loved seeing one at our park with a female and being able to photograph them. I thought they were wood ducks till someone from the UK told me the two were Mandarin Ducks. The male has the most amazing colors. FAV
