Grand finale

After all the splishing and splashing (previous picture), this was the mallard’s final display. This is from a different series of shots where he was facing in the wrong direction, but I think it was the same mallard.

Taken at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall.

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