Hi Sandor,

 

she is a beauty indeed. A lot of people tend to look at the brighter colors of male ducks and forget about the beautiful patterns on the female duck's feathers, not to mention all the different shades of brown. I like the position of the wing and the contrast with the green water. It's hardly noticeable at first glance, but the water level is a bit tilted. Kind regards, Vincent

Thank you, Vincent, for the kind note and the helpful advice. Best regards, Sandor
