Proud Male Mallard
/
Such calm ducks Mallards are, until you get in their space or near there off-spring then it is all out war. This handsome one was sitting on the shore watching his lady and I assume offspring swimming along the pond at Midlothian Mines Park as you can see in a very proud stance. I was a far enough distance away not to disturb his moment of pride but close enough to get this portrait without needing to crop.
This @getolympus, on this camera is giving off some great detail and sharpness. Pretty happy with the combo.
Olympus OMD-EM1X, 100-400 Olympus lens.
