I found this preening Mallard while I was waiting for the Buffleheads to come closer. I liked the pose that he gave me. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Sharp detail. Nice complimentary background. I like the patterns in the upturned wing. :toast:

nice pose, good light and water, good details. DOF worked out well too even with the angled pose.
