Mallard Feathers

Mallard ducks are boring animals to photographers? I don´t think so. Of course we lose the sense for recognizing the beauty of common animals you can find in every city. You need a closer look and some lost patience to see the beauty again.

I really enjoy seeing the colors and structures of these bird feathers. You can practically see the water repellency of this bird skin.

The photos were taken with the Pentax K3 III and the Pentax 560 mm F5.6 + 1.4x Teleconverter.
