Description

This is a close-up photo of a female mallard duck. The background features a ground paved with light gray slate, dotted with tender green grass, exuding a natural and cozy atmosphere. The duck’s head feathers are dark brown with light markings, its beak—interspersed with orange-yellow and dark brown—slightly open, and its gaze calm and gentle. Its body feathers are covered with mottled patterns of interlaced brown and black, rich in layers and glossy. The striking white stripes on the wings contrast sharply with the bright blue speculum, fully showcasing the vivid beauty of the waterbird’s plumage. The image focuses on the duck’s side half, with a compact composition and clear details, perfectly presenting the natural state and lovely appearance of wild ducks, and conveying the harmony of wildlife coexisting with nature.
