Mallard Duck: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, October 2026 — Fall light, October light, makes even a common Mallard look good. Not that Mallards do not look good anytime, but the reflections in the water make this Mallard shot just a bit special. Sony a7CR with the FE 100-400 f5.6-f8 OSS at 400mm. Cropped to 17mp or about 750mm effective field of view. My birds and wildlife mode. Processed in Photomator.
