There are no more creative titles left for me in this universe, I am firmly convinced. That and I just can't be bothered. While I do realize that Mallards are fairly common, guess what? They are still great to photograph if you get them under the right conditions, so ha! What makes them a bit more difficult is that a lot of times they are in large groups, so you end up getting bits of butts and legs and beaks from other ducks in the picture if you are doing a portrait. I had to crop a butt out of the top righthand corner.
