Mallard Portrait
Back to the mallards again...

280mm, 1/800s, f5.6, iso 800. HH lying in a lovely patch of bird poo :frown:

Does the comp. work for you?

Comments welcome as always!

Yes, works well for me. Lovely detail in this one. I'd be tempted to smooth out or tone down the white patches in the background a little, especially just above the bill. These are gorgeous birds!

Comp works well and i like the low POV and waterdrops on it's head.

Greetings,
