Mallard Symmetry

A male Mallard Duck swimming in the reflections of fall foliage. This is the closest I could find that related to analogous colors (green, yellow, orange). The ducks were on the far side of the pond so I had to add the 1.4 TC to my 200-600 for this shot.

Hi Gary,

I like the bright lighting, reflection, and overall presentation of this image. The ripples in the water provide some abstract elements as well…Jim

Gary, this is a fine view of this Mallard. As a reflection fan, both the duck’s reflection and fall colors look great, especially the ripples around the duck and below it in the foreground. The details in the duck look great.
