Duck
The reeds at the edges of the Lower Nihotupu Reservoir are a beautiful mess at present, with remnants of last season’s growth and new shoots coming up. Through all this, and in direct backlight of the midday sun, a mallard duck finds its way – appealing to my sense of mischief.

Nice B&W composition!

Fun! Small duck, bright water, and scribbled reeds. You did well to see the duck.

Great silhouette duck shape quietly appearing in the tangle of plant lines.

I like the way you captured the shot of the duck through the growth.
