Description

This vibrant photograph captures a male duck (drake) just after swimming, now resting and preening on the bank, with his mate close by. I was able to get remarkably close without disturbing them, allowing for an intimate glimpse into their natural behavior — at one point, they even fell asleep.

The rich colors, especially the beautiful green tones, bring the scene to life, highlighting the quiet charm and peaceful rhythm of everyday wildlife. Taken at the Zaanse Schans, this image is perfect for bringing color, serenity, and a touch of nature into any space.

The downloadable images are high-quality PNG files for personal, non-commercial use. Each file includes a discreet watermark to protect the artwork and ensure proper use.
