Everyone's offering up some succulent duckies...so here's mine!! A little dark in the face, sorry.

The duck is most pleasing to look at, Randy. His face is a little dark, but so what, his eye is in focus. The sparkly movement of the water was well captured, but I wonder why then the lower right is not as focused as the rest. The bottom of the pond has the colors of a penny fountain as if someone threw in some coins. lol I would have preferred that the duck be more off center, but I know sometimes it's not possible. What I find interesting though is that the shadow of his beak looks like his beak is open, but it is not. Kind of like an optical illusion created by the movement of the water.
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.

Nice duck, nice reflections, beautiful water. I wonder why nobody wants him - he looks presentable enough, with a pretty blue tinge to his feathers.
the title has influenced me into thinking this is a sad picture of a sad duck.
I feel so much affection for the poor little thing I have faved him :)
