used canon rebel with 75-300mm lens.

this was taken in a park, the birds can come and go as they please. the birds are not tame, but they will let you get relatively close.

i did crop the picture.

IMO the crop is a little tight. Nice image of the mallard. I like the reflection and the catchlight in the eye. The whites in it's tail are a little hot. The colors in the water are great.

Hi Bert,
If you have more room on the top and left I think it would improve the image. I like the reflection.

I love mallards and I like the green on green that's going on here. Smaller image suggests you've got some good detail here. I would loosen the crop a bit.
