    This fellow looks like a mallard hybrid. Mallard ducks are notorious for cross breeding. They are quite successful at being able to cross species lines and produce viable offspring.. Posted 8 years ago

        hmmm - how do we handle hybrids.. he's a Anas x something.. but I'm not sure I'd even be able to start to guess with that funky spotted breast. Posted 8 years ago

          Usually we just go for the mallard in this case, the system does not really support hybrids in any way. Posted 8 years ago

    hi Eros, since you asked for tips, here is one...
    You clearly captured this one from a human perspective, standing up and pointing the camera down on the duck. You will find that if you shoot the same scene at eye level, the result is often much more pleasing. Plenty of examples here:

    Hope this helps!     Posted 8 years ago
