ARCHIVE 534 – MALLARD DUCKS (MONO)
July 12, 2020 2 Comments
Mallard ducks on the edge of Chew Valley Lake, Somerset; 6 Apr 2015.
A pair of these common and often very tame ducks, at Herons Green.
On the left, the male stands immobile on one leg. On the right, his mate’s busy preening sends great numbers of ripples out into the shallows.
Click onto the image to see a larger version in a separate window – highly recommended.
Technique: D700 with 70-300 Nikkor lens at 200mm; 200 ISO; Silver Efex Pro 2, starting at the Low Key 2 preset.

Very effective (but I want to crop off most of the left-hand duck and just concentrate on those beautiful water rings.)
