NSFW When Wild Gets Wilder! • 5 Rape!?!?!?!

[Kodiak Qc]

•

In the well known ill-manners of the Mallard, rape is
a commun practice… a dead female is offering less
resistance and is still warm…

Even the close presence of the Swans
did nothing at the frenzy

Daniel you have told and illustrated this story very well It's not usual for me to be unhappy after one of your posts. I have grown to really like ducks and after this not too keen on geese.

and after this not too keen on geese.

Be careful Charles, I said that no one understood why
this event took place and the story was told though my
human filters.

Mallard's raping culture did nothing to make them more
friendly to me!

It's a common occurrence in breeding season, sometimes the female is drowned under all the attention.

Right, the events took place at the end
of a dark and rainy day.

Ok but detail seems to be lost, especially on the mallards? Perhaps just a slight lift?

Perhaps just a slight lift?

Good Idea!

On my iPad, I applied the adjustments only
to the ducks but not to the land and water!

Furthermore, to dramatize the take, I did an
other layer adjustment to enhance the visual
perception of the victim's bill.

I just used a levels layer in photoshop for a quick lift just for the idea... They histogram is pushed to the left on the original, so I just pulled it right then added a little to the shadows.
