I found this drake mallard duck sunning himself at the edge of a local lake. The colors of the autumn leaves were being reflected on the surface of the water and provided an appealing background for this shot.
Location/Date: Lake Needwood near Derwood, MD, October 18, 2006.

Very nice. The colors of the background and the duck all complement each other.
