The water around the duck ripples outward, forming concentric circles that reflect the sunlight, adding texture and depth to the image. The background consists of the gently rippling water, with dark and light reflections playing across the surface. The lighting in the photograph enhances the details of the duck's feathers, emphasising their intricate patterns and textures.
The composition is well-balanced, with the duck positioned centrally, making its outstretched wings the focal point. The image evokes a sense of power, grace, and freedom, as if the duck is preparing to take flight or reveling in the refreshing water.
