ABOUT THE IMAGE

Is there anything more peaceful than watching a vibrant Mallard gliding across a calm reservoir? This striking duck, with its glossy emerald head and chestnut-brown body, is one of the most common yet captivating birds in the UK. Mallards are known for their adaptability, thriving in all sorts of wetland habitats - from serene reservoirs to bustling city parks. This beauty was spotted at Winscar Reservoir in the Peak District, a perfect spot to take in nature's tranquility.

Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or just love the view, this piece brings a splash of colour and calm to any space.

Original photography by Carol Herbert - available only at Real World Art.

Swimming Mallard Foam Backed Prints.

Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:

  • Lustre Photographic - A semi-matt finish with a subtle, speckled sheen that reduces glare, making it perfect for well-lit spaces or rooms with direct sunlight.
  • Gloss Photographic - A bold, high-gloss finish that enhances depth and contrast, ideal for striking imagery that stands out.
  • Fine Art Matt – A luxurious 308gsm Hahnemuhle paper with a smooth, ultra-matte surface and rich colour depth, offering a refined, three-dimensional look.

Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.

Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.

Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

Care Instructions

Handle with Clean, Dry Hands - Oils and dirt from your fingers can damage the surface. 
Avoid Direct Sunlight - Even with high-quality archival paper, prolonged UV exposure can cause fading over time.
Avoid areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, to prevent warping or discolouration. 
Glossy prints are more prone to fingerprints and scratches, so avoid unnecessary contact.

Cleaning:

Lustre: Dust Gently with a Soft Cloth - A clean, dry microfibre cloth can remove dust without scratching the surface. 
Gloss: Use an Anti-Static Brush for Dusting - Gloss prints attract more dust, so a soft brush helps maintain a clean surface. If smudges appear, use a slightly damp microfibre cloth and blot (don't rub!) to avoid scratching. 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag: Avoid wiping or using moisture. Gently remove dust with an air blower or a soft, dry brush to preserve the delicate texture.

Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
