    Default Mandarin Duck (drake) (C)

    I captured this image in 2014, tweaked a bit and resurrected it for the theme this month. The morning I captured this image was very foggy. I stayed home till the fog began to lift, then going to a local lake a short distance away. I fouind this Mandarin drake swimming amongst the lily pads with the fog still shrouding most of the lake. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Joe, I really like the simplicity of this shot, nice subtle colors, may need a slight rotation clockwise.
    Very artsy.

    Very nice Joe, and you have captured the beautiful colours on the duck perfectly. The crop works for me and the reflection adds.

    Will
