Mallard Landing I - a photo on Flickriver

Mallard Landing I

"Mallard Landing I" by Patti Deters. A Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) photographed at the exact moment of touchdown before the splash! His wings outstretched, tailfeathers touching the water, and orange feet just about to touch the water. Another drake swims and floats nearby, unimpressed. (If they only knew how tricky this was to capture!) This particular image is for sale at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/mallard-landing-i-patti-... (printed and shipped WITHOUT watermark) through Fine Art America (FAA) which offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you like these two birds, I invite you to please share or see my main image gallery (animals, wildlife, and more) at patti-deters.pixels.com.
