Description
A mallard hen coming into land.Somthing a bit different - The weather was severely bad and overcast and I had to over expose the shot to bring out the details in the duck. The water was still quite visible but I decided to push my luck and completley blow the water white during post processing rather than leaving distracting ripples under it (altough there wern't many and they weren't distracting!)

Wow, didn't realise it was a photo at first. I looks like someone drew it to be perfect!

I definitely like the look with the water blown out, but there seems to be a tad bit of water surrounding the duck that has yet to be "blown". While it's not really noticeable at first, I found it to be quite distracting upon a closer look. Hope this helps.
Otherwise, I really like this shot. The minimalisticness of the duck in the land of white gives it a mysterious look to me, and the rule of thirds really makes the picture.
Keep up the good work mate!

Perfect! I love mallards.
There were a lot of them in northern Virginia where I grew up.

So cool! Somehow I get the feeling, you've taken this duck from an old, very expensive car and just put it against a white sky... Awesome
