  There are duck photos, Terry ~ and then there are SUPERB duck photos!!
Everything in this image is easy on the eyes: the lovely details of the duck, including her eye, the reflection, the silken water with its alternating wavelets of color and light...wonderful!

  Congrats, Terry. Great shot of a male mallard, during his summer molt (eclipse stage). They look identical to females during this stage, except for their yellow bills which don't change color. Terrific shot, good luck in the finals.
