A mallard drake stands quietly with wings fully extended, set against a softly muted golden background in early morning light. Subtle tones and gentle contrast highlight the rich greens, warm browns, and elegant patterning of his plumage without distraction, creating a balanced and contemplative portrait.
This image captures a brief, natural pause—an intimate moment of form and light often missed along the water’s edge.
