Flying Mallard duck


A rather nice action shot of a female Mallard Duck coming into land, framed by two darker bands in the background. It appears on the Mallard article, but it could do with a more prominent position. The picture seems to be the only contribution by Mike Correns.

 * It might look better cropped a bit, and auto-leveled in Photoshop. It might also need better placement in the article. I'll probably support either way. -- brian0918 &#153;  7 July 2005 21:03 (UTC)

 * Support. It looks like crap in the thumbnail, but the big version is crystal clear and nicely illustrates both the duck's anatomy and its mode of flight. I'm very impressed Martin caught this moving subject so well. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 20:11, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak Support. Shame the background is so blurry though: although yes, excellent capture of the subject. Some photo manipulation could be in order...just to enhance the "totality" feel to it. -- Natalinasmpf 06:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
