That's what I thought of when I saw this guy showing off.  And there really was a chorus of mallards all around him.  :P  Please view enlarged.

Very cool wing flap, Cindy. I’m impressed with how far out of the water the mallard is — perfect timing. Love the rings in the water around Mr. Mallard. Great title.

I like the water drops and the swirling water...
Mallard looks good.
Looks like it needs just a tiny bit of CW rotation.

Thanks, Ron. I think he might have been standing on some ice just below the surface.

You're right Dan-I rotated this to straighten it, and went too far backwards!

I see the tilt has already been mentioned, so I'll just concentrate on the lovely wing flap behaviour capture which is very nicely done! I also like the water with the reflected colours and the ripples.
