Proud Male Mallard

IMG_2422.jpeg

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.
