There is no prejudice on my part but the male is prettier
Wonderfully captured, Keith

Thank you Judite..............I respect your opinion about the male being prettier, but I've always preferred the understated beauty of the female mallard :-))

Beautiful bird image Keith.
Enjoy the new week.

Thank you so much Jaap. Have a good week yourself.

Hello, pretty lady ! Take a good bath*******************

Thank you Rosèha................it's always good to see a pretty lady taking a bath ;-))

Oh,das ist schön,sie ist ganz in Ruhe auf dich zugeschwommen lieber Keith und die Dame hat sich sehr schön von dir fotografieren lassen,mir gefällt auch sehr gut,dass du diese Zweige noch ins Bild kommen hast lassen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni..............I'm pleased you like this image. The light and reflections were lovely under the tree and seemed ideal for a photo.

Verynice in the sparkling water, Keith !

Thank you Ulrich...........glad you think so!

A fine capture, and a beautiful one. The succession from the branches at top left through the duck to the green reflections helped my eyes take in the photograph quickly.

Thanks for your visit and kind comments John............much appreciated.

This must be viewed large to really appreciate the ripples in the water and all the deatil in the mallard!

Thank you kind lady..................glad you took the trouble to view it large. Much appreciated.

Die hübsche Ente erzeugt so schöne lichtbrechende Wellen.
