A mandarin duck glides gracefully across the still water, its colourful plumage reflected in a near-perfect reflection. The warm hues of its orange 'sails', the deep red of its face and the elegant white above its eye make it a living work of art. The background of dry reeds forms a subdued backdrop, making the duck shine even more in her natural splendour.
This picture evokes a sense of wonder and serenity. It is a moment of balance-between colour and stillness, between movement and calm. For those who hang this work on their walls, it offers a daily reminder of the harmony of nature and the power of beauty that shows itself without embellishment.

I hope I can let you enjoy my photos as well...
