[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Mr Duck has a fierce pose, but he blushes when Miss Duck is playing around.
------------------------------------
This is the domesticated breed of the "Cairina
Moschata" that still lives in the wild on the American continent.
The wild duck is mainly black, while the domesticated one is mainly white. French name is "Canard de Barbarie" better known by cooks and gourmets than by ornithologists!

Jean Michel
I love the detail you have captured. Perfect. The eye in particular is captured so beautifully. I like the side view as well.Well done.

Hi Jean,

Wow that is one ugly yet strangely beautiful duck. Well captured with great detail and colour.

Cheers
Tom

Bonjour J-M,
je connais le canard de Barbarie, mais je n'en avais jamais vu en gros plan, c'est vraiment un canard original qui rend bien en photographie avec ce beau rouge écarlate sur plumes blanches et noires comme un petit bonnet sur la tête. Excellents détails, pour ce beau mâle dans toute sa splendeur. Bravo pour cette qualité!
Amicalement
Corinne

He is crisp and colourful. Something about the cropping is not quite perfect (for me) -- but I don't know what it is. Great capture. TFS. Karin
