Iridescent Mallard

This is a discussion on Iridescent Mallard within the Animals (mammals, birds, insects etc.) forums, part of the Show your photo (Color) - Landscape & Nature (flowers, mountains, storms etc.) category; He just didn't give a damn ... let me get as close as I wanted. Easy pickings for the 400mm....

    Beautiful colours, eye detail, and framing MA.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Thanks Richard.

    Thanks also JAS ... as far as I know only the males have that irridescent green. Perhaps that's not the case? I'm no duck expert

    Very nice shot. As for the green I was educated by a duck lover. "Mr. Mallard has a green head." The background is awesome. You slowed the shutter down and what I assume is flowing water looks like silk. Nice!

    Ahhh ... so that's how you tell! Green head ... will remember that.

    The water is just a pond, not moving. There was a bit of wind around so that probably accounts for the bokeh effect.
