This tranquil scene was taken in the Everglades National Park. The gators inhabiting these waters could feast easily on this peaceful creature. But the focus is in this moment.
The photo is peaceful and serene but after reading your description I can't help but hear that infamous cello theme from Jaws. Like his straight as a rod reflection
Great shot here, love the capture of this little duck and the ripple effect in the water. I just hope that this one can get away in time if a gator does feel hungry. Nice work.
