I was at James Gardens on a very sunny cool day and the angle of the winter sun was really reflecting nicely off the heads of the male Mallards so of course I shot a whole load of pics to try to get some great green showing. But of course they don't stay still for long so I had a lot of duds. I like this one and also I like seeing his little foot below the water.

They have such a great shade of green
It is exactly as it is. Wonderful.
I know that feeling when the ducks do not want to stay still for just one picture.
Hello,
Pretty capture of the Mallard, he has a beautiful shiny green head.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend.
Their heads are an absolutely wonderful colour and you've captured the tone and iridescence perfectly.
A Mandarin Duck came flying in to Stockholm earier in the week. Not something that happens very often, so the bird watchers, soon gathered nearby.
Está precioso. Lo pillaste nadando.
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
How beautiful! I know you were so pleased with this photo, it's amazing!
This is a great shot. I love the iridescent green. You captured it beautifully.
A well captured shot, perfect!
Fine photo of this beautiful bird with its reflection.
Yes it's a lot of work getting good shots like these Pat!
Nice shot of the charming duck.
That is a handsome Mallard.
Beautiful when the sun brings out their sheen.
the always overlooked mallard, what a beauty!!
Great photo!
Stunning green, and the orange feet are bright too.
Such a common and yet fabulous duck. :-)
The green is remarkable. In a world full of feathered creatures it stands out as silky with a brilliant sheen.
I used to see mallards all the time in New England, and I know they are also found in Florida, but I rarely see the males here.
