One of a Kind

Description

Spotted this quirky daisy at my favorite nursery and, of course, I had to buy it. What entered my mind when I saw it was Yin Yang, the ancient Chinese symbol of harmony and good balance...something to remember as we enter the busy holiday season.

I believe it is a mallard John, somehow its colors did not develop right. But it is one beautiful looking duck and you really brought out the gorgeous details of its feathers and head. Love the reflection, the water action, the lighting and clarity, the colors are so pretty. A beautiful look John. #1700449

Beautiful unique capture John, Mallard I think, but sort of an Albino, WTG!! #11662792

Great shot, John. Beautiful color and details.
This is probably a Mallard Hybrid - these birds result from the mating of two different species. Mallards (especially male) are known for being indiscriminately amorous. #11662826

I would say it is a Mallard in disguise John! I love the reflections on the water!

He's a beauty, John, and you captured him from such a great perspective! I love the softness of his feathers which is echoed in the softness of the water. Wonderful framing and gorgeous color tones. Fantastic! #11662981
