No thoughts went into the composition, it's just a picture of a duck. It's probably oversaturated a bit as well, but it does have a water drop on the end of his bill, so from what I understand, that makes it a neat picture....of a duck ;)


Regards,
Chuck

Very nice shot! The Mandarin is a very colorful duck so I don't think it looks oversaturated. I've got some similar shots that I took in Ireland in some low winter light. Thanks for sharing!

Don't know that I've ever seen one of those before. It sure has some very rich color tones....and a water drop - ;)
Very pretty capture Chuck. Thanks for showing us!

It's almost too colorful to be real-unbelievable! Excellant capture and the composition(very dark) set off the colors!
