Mallard Duck, Papago Park

Mallard Duck, Papago Park

The iridescent colors of a beautiful Mallard Duck catches the sunlight in this photo from Papago Park, in Phoenix, Arizona. This photo was captured during a beautiful fall day on a fishing lagoon in Phoenix, Arizona’s Papago Park. To maximize the reflected color in both the duck’s feathers and the water, I shoot without a polarizer on the lens. I like to use the golden reflections in the water as part of the composition of the photo. I do miss the pleasant evenings spent photographing waterfowl in Papago Park!
