Another portait
I like photographing common bird species in the snow, so I’ve tried to portrait a female mallard. Comments and critiques are warmly welcomed.
Nikon D300s @ 400 mm, iso 200, 1/250, + 0,7 EV, f4 on a beanbag

Hi Sandra, good detail and I like the crop, it's a different POV. Just watch the edging on the snow under the bill, looking a bit jagged.

Works for me too, Sandra. Snow on the bill is a nice touch and just the right amount of mush.

Different take on a common bird Sandra which has been well executed.

Now that's a different take and produces an added bonus too.
