Splendid picture of this handsome fellow. This is the only way I "shoot" ducks. Splendida foto di questo bel ragazzo. Questo è l'unico modo che ho "sparare" le anatre.
gorgeous photo and colours!!
Beautiful bright eye and wonderful detail and color! I love the bit of his orange feet that can be seen in the water. Gorgeous motion and highlights in the ripples in the water! Great reflection! There was a duck pond near where I lived as a child. We loved to see the Mallards there. Bella occhi luminosi e dettagli e dei colori meravigliosi! Mi piace il bit dei suoi piedi arancione che può essere visto in acqua. Gorgeous movimento e mette in evidenza nel increspature nell'acqua! Grande riflessione! Ci fu un papero laghetto vicino a dove ho vissuto come un bambino. Ci piaceva vedere la Germano reale lì. Buona giornata e Buona settimana
