Quack!

[Bonnie Block]

I photographed this little Mallard hen taking her daily splash bath. Happy little duck! Quite a dark day-not much light.

This image exudes sounds! I can hear the splash and quack...a happy duck indeed! Excellent job capturing the moment and working with the light conditions that you had.
