Excellent shot of this female Mallard Nicole. (do they call them that in New Zealand?) The female is often overlooked for the more colourful male. I love the feathers in this image.

I guess the old saying stand with the wind to your back doesn't work for ducks. :) Good shot Nicole, very well taken with sharp focus. I hope you don't mind but I think it looks a tad flat so adjusted the lighting and colour a bit in PS Elements. What do you think?
All the best,
Joe
