Little White Duck

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 15 January 2009 in Animal & Insect.

Well big white duck actually. I have posted a photo of this fellow before, but this is a new image from Christmas. He lives in a pond in the middle of nowhere near Kokatahi on the West Coast

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Beautiful! I agree with those who say the reflection is perfect. And, doesn't he look like he's smiling?
