Lady Ma-mallard


Photo Information
This is the first shot with my new DA* 200mm (I treated myself)... a contented looking female Mallard on the pond early this morning. There are so many juvenile Mallards on the pond that this lady must be the mother of of one or two of them I reckon...

Nice shot Mat. May be a little better if you clone out the bluey white dots?

It is nice and sharp. I like it and its composition with the reflection.

Thanks folks I often think of cloning out the dots but there's normally so many it ends up taking ages

The retuche/cloning will take about 5 minutes on this picture, if you use the right software.
