A very good look at Mr. Drake who looks to be pondering what to do next. Good frame, focus and a lower sun angle to show the details on this pretty boy.

thanks so much George. Is the drake the same as a mallard?

I could just reach out and pet that duck!!!

The focus on his head and beak are perfect. The pond and vegetation are evident -- but not "in your face- thus, highlighting the duck... good aperture setting!
