A very nice looking Mallard image. The head turn has worked well with the portrait crop & the details stand out well.

It is nice to see the female of this species, the feathers are detailed and very beautiful I like the angle here, all in all a very nice composition.

like the low angle and water drops, could be a tiny bit brighter though i reckon

I like this one very much Joe. Nice viewpoint and light. Colour is great too. The water drops are a nice touch, I'd be tempted to crop a little from the top

Lovely and crisp, like the catchlight. Agree with Jack - could perhaps be brightened a little :smile:
