Absolutely beautiful photograph....clarity, colour....it's got it all. The composition is wonderful....those water wavelets are great.

How did you get this picture ? Just come across the duck doing it's grooming ? Is the bird wild or domesticated ?

Wild but at the bird sanctuary so they are not frightened of humans.

Without doubt, EM, this is the most creative wildlife photo I can remember - well-timed, humorous and technically flawless . You da man.

This one is amazing, too. Gives a "whirl of life" sensation.
