Close enough to see a slightly smug twinkle in that duck's eye! This is t'riffic, Anne-Marie. The irridescence of his feathers shines in the sun, and the background colours,
pale green and bright blue, just add to the shot. Well done, friend!
ps - what's a Cornish Pastie? Something good to eat I'm sure.

A superb close up of this duck Anne Marie - those feathers are so beautiful. You have a winner here I am sure.
Cornish pasty - mmmmmm- I used to make my own - the proper way with everything cooked inside from raw. That was in the old days when I was a housewife lol. Looked in vain for a knob on the camera to create one but - no - nothing doing.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Is that how you got him to be nice and sit still, just offer to share your food? LOL This is an amazing closeup and those colors are super saturated. This is going to garner some really high marks and rightly so too.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
