EDITORS COMMENTS
Take to the skies! A majestic Male Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, bursts forth from the frozen pond's icy surface on a crisp December morning in Alaska. The drake's vibrant plumage glistens with iridescent blues and greens as it stretches its wings wide, sending droplets of water flying in all directions. The blurred background of snow-covered trees and frozen lake creates a serene contrast to the dynamic action unfolding before us.
As we gaze upon this stunning portrait, we're treated to a masterclass in bird photography. Ken Marsh's keen eye captures every detail of the mallard's feathers, from the subtle sheen on its crown to the delicate texture of its wingbeats. The subject's profile is framed by a soft focus blur, drawing our attention to its striking features.
This image not only showcases Marsh's technical skill but also invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of these remarkable creatures as they adapt to their winter environment. As we marvel at this breathtaking scene, we're reminded that even in the coldest months, there is still so much life and vitality waiting to be discovered.
