Mallard Hen

Simple shot of an ordinary duck, but I liked the light and the blue water. It was late afternoon at a local duck pond. I wished I had allowed a little more room on the bottom. I added some canvass on the left. Comments and critiques welcome.

Wonderful blue water you caught her in, agree with a bit more at the bottom. Nice work.

I have been guilty of passing on mallards for other more exotic ducks. They are beautiful in their own right. Thanks for sharing this nice crisp image. Andrew
