Ring-necked Duck-female

[Bonnie Block]

A looong dry spell for me--we have had just bleak and dreary days for what seems like weeks.
I found new duck for me tonight when we had a small amount of light. She was very shy and I never could get in close-therefore it is a fairly heavy crop :( but it was fun to see her anyway!

Nice angle and eye contact. I only wish the sun angle would have been better.

Hi Bonnie, nice pose and water color, head needs better light and it looks a tad soft.
