Just the usual

I photograph them often, but I’m always dazzled by the iridescent color in mallards’ heads.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Perfect light and focus on this handsome fellow.

He's a handsome drake, perfectly captured. Nice to see a 'purebred' Mallard.

I never get tired of them, that green is dazzling, always changing depending on light and how they turn their heads. Glorious shot. V

A fine Mallard drake, that green head is almost jewel like.
