Pond duck in a duck pond.

Welcome.

Is this a handsome duck? He looks fairly content, well fed and happy. When you see waterfowl up close like this and all the multi layered vermiculation, the beauty of it is like a rare treasure.

This Mallard and it's mate were having a leisurely paddle around a local pond that hosts White Ibis, Great Blue Heron, Egret, Canada Geese and many varieties of gulls.

Sometimes I favor a straightforward simple composition like this, especially if the color is vibrant and the subject is highly detailed.

Pond duck in a duck pond is another of my wildlife fine art series photographs.

I appreciate you stopping by today.

More to come.......
