I took my kids to a park the other night and between them and their cousins they scared off every goose, duck or other type of bird around this pond. It was interesting to watch them as they floated along. Most of them tended to stay in little groups, but this one duck I noticed seemed to go to each group and each time the group would swim away. I guess we’ll never know what made this guy an outcast but it was kinda sad watching him swimming all alone.
Lone Duck
by Jason Prahl | Oct 21, 2005 | Photo - Animals, Photoblog
A very lonely duck – I would have liked more space in front of him though :-)
The reflection of the ducks head is very nice… a good mirror effect.
Poor little guy! This is an excellent photograph, albeit a sad one! Reflection and lighting, perfect!
I didn’t notice the ducks reflection at first because I was so caught by the way the water looks. It seems like it is not water but glass or marble….something solid.
He’s not alone – he has his reflection for company. The color of the water is quite nice.
It’s funny. In the reflection it looks like the ducks mouth is open. I like how it is almost a silouette, but not quite.
Surreal colours and yet this one is so peaceful and serene. I would feel happy for this guy… a little bit of peace and quiet! ;-)
So calm…I like it!
A double duck??!
:)
Note:Thanks for tour coments. Today I have computer problems with server (and may be on weekend).
this is really calming – just waht i need after the drive home i just had ;)
his reflection looks like he is quacking because of the ripple!
Thank you for comment and visit my blog…

Kiss kiss

I like how the duck is backlit, yet you can still make out some of the tonal variations. Good shot.
Different colors…and nearly silhoutted reflection of duck…looks very nice…
Great composition and unique colours. I love how the ripples make the reflected duck look like it’s making noise, while the actual one is quiet.
clear and crisp photo, great colours, lonely subject, works together well
Interesting soft colors. Like the reflection.

Erie colorcast. Great contrast, and I love the smooth water.
