What a beautiful portrait, so well framed. The duck looks like she(?) is posing for you.
Thank you, I was lucky with the diagonal light and dark background. She was at the koi pond at HG. It was strange how she looked right at me as if she knew the drill!
You have a way with ducks, that’s for sure. And she knows her best side for posing.
🙂 Charmed!
Beautiful! I love ducks.
Thanks, Maureen. She was a lovely and cooperative subject!
Gorgeous Eliza, who doesn’t like ducks? 🙂
Thanks, Karen. I agree! 🙂
What a pretty girl! I have a collection of ducks … can’t resist them. This one quacks to me.
Real ducks or objet d’art? This mallard had such calm presence and I swear was posing! 😉
objet d’art … at least some of them. I started off with decoys … I had never seen them before coming to the US! She is charming.
What a beauty of a picture! What kind of camera do you have?
Thanks, Laurie. I have a Canon Rebel.
Beautiful & so peaceful Looks like she is smiling at us! Thanks for sharing. Mary Ann Cauthen
Many thanks, Mary Ann. She did have a Mona Lisa way about her. 😉
Love those orange feet! Beautiful photo Eliza!
Thank you, Stephanie. I thought she was a lovely and precious thing!
Nice framing with water ripples and color
Many thanks, Maria.
I love how the reflection in the water is feather-like. You’ve really captured some personality here, Eliza!
Thank you, Kathy!
Awww. What a beautiful portrait! I love the swirl of water in the background. (In answer to one of your comments on my blog, water is my favorite element, too.)
Thanks, Robin. The light was reflecting just right. Ripples on water is a lovely thing!
What a pretty girl!! Love the feathery water too. Nice shot, Eliza!
Thank you, Mary! She is lovely, isn’t she? She seemed to know it, too. 😉
I just heard your gov has issued a state of emergency due to weather. How are you faring?
Oh, such a great totem!
Thanks, Kim. This lovely mallard had such a calm presence amid a lot of activity and chaos. She looked right at me as if she knew exactly why I was taking her photo!
Beautiful! You’re an excellent photographer. 🙂
Thank you so much!

Aw, handsome little guy you caught there. 🙂
Thanks, Judy!
Beautiful. I just love the active background.
Thanks, I loved the luck of the light/dark diagonal background, too.
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Fi!
Very cool – I love the background!
Thanks, Sarah!
This is so cute!! I love animals and love how your picture is artistic looking! You have great skills! The background looks almost like a painting. Her bright orange feet are so pretty. It sort of looks like she’s wearing rain boots! Lol And it’s so engaging how she is looking up at you.
😀
Do animals like this stay around all year? Do they have a place to go when it gets frozen? I see ducks around occasionally, especially in New Jersey, but I have no idea where they go for weather that isn’t suitable for them.
Thank you, Kim. Ha-ha, she does look like she is wearing rain boots! I expect wild ducks require open water at all times, even in winter, so must migrate southwards until they find it. They are vulnerable to predators when on land.
