Beautiful look at this guy. I always like the contrast with the brilliantly green head on these guys, and then the subtle fine patterns on the plumage.

Hi Craig

Love the expression of this sleepy mallard

The detail, and colors are spectacular

Craig, really nice feather detail. From here, the eye could use a bit of additional sharpening.
Cool portrait!

I love close up images of these beautiful birds. The green is mesmerizing. Nice job.

One of my favourite subjects and a very nice portrait of him too, Craig. The sleepy look is great.
