Here is a series of shots of the female mallard who come out of the water to pose right before me, just a few feet away.

'Now would you say this is the right pose'?

Super shots Anthony, the first and last are winners for me, due to the better exposure. Well done.

Very nice Tony with the first image getting most of my attention. I like the pose in the second but the BG in the first image has it over the second and that edged me over.

Nice series, Tony. I like the composition in the second shot best, and it doesn't hurt that he's looking at the camera.
