Best viewed large.
I took several shots of this male Mallard flying and liked this touch down shot the best. Notice the braking action of his foot.
Thank you for viewing and commenting, I appreciate it very much.
I've just viewed your last 8 shots. They are all brilliant. So clear and such good captures. Well done. Thank you for commenting on my willow tree pickie.
A bit late but well -meaning : Thank you for following me I really appreciate it and I hope we`ll enjoy each others pic for a long time. I watch every pic and replay on any comment ( if I can ) send to me.
@girlie@naladka@boogie@sabine@psychographer Thank you! He was putting "the brakes on" landing in the water after flying across the pond after the female. I have photos of her as well that I might post later, they were not quite as sharp.
@triciaodonnell Thank you! @janek Thank you very much for your kind comments. I appreciate it very much! @myautofocuslife@gs365@dawnirwin@lizzy_lu123 Thank you for the kind comments! @cimes1 Thank you! I like Mallards because they are so colorful and pretty (to me anyway). It is probably because I had one as a pet when I was quite young. I try to comment as much as possible and always to those that comment on my pics. I sometimes have to play catch up on those that I follow as I work a full time job and have a long drive to and from work.
@pyrrhula Thank you for your comment on my photo, I appreciate it. I try always to reply on the ones that comment on my pics and on the ones that I follow.
@bb Brigit, thank you so much for your comment, it has taken me a while to learn my camera and get better shots. I think I have progressed a bit from when I first got my DSLR.
@sarasdadandmom Thank you so very much for your comment! @lola241 Thank you so much. I have a pic of his mate flying and the water picked up color from something near the pond and it is reflected and it really looks painted (pink).
Wonderful action capture. You caught him at his most beautiful. Well done! FAV
