A beautiful subject that is very well shown. The exposure for the white feathers is excellent and clearly shows his closed eye. A very nice composition with a fantastic reflection.

A pretty good lucking nature shot posted here! Your fine and almost central composition offers us an enjoyable view of your dozing mandarin duck. Like its colours and reflections. Nicely taken!

Everyone needs a little shuteye. He is reflecting on life and the pond. Nice close cropped scene with great lighting and focus. I have caught water fowl napping but apparently I don't walk quiet enough to get the shot. I sun's angle has given you a fantastic reflection. Outstanding.

I have never come across a sleeping duck! This looks amusing! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

What a capture! Well seen and shot with exquisite color, clarity and detail. Cropped perfectly and the reflection is like a mirror. Love the sleeping pose too. So charming. Fantastic job on this one, my friend. Ed.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this handsome Mandarin drake, attired in his exotic looking plumage eyes closed sleeping as he glides across your lake his reflection clearly seen on the lake's glass like surface, along with the vegetation along the lake's shore. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
