A complete other view on "Carnard à l'Orange"
At least you captured her very well with beautiful mirror reflections and great clarity. The small fountain makes this duck also a nice object as garden decoration as long it is not moving too much,
très bien fait Nicki,
hugs and kisses, enjoy your Sunday,
Paul

Nice shot... very good focus and most of all... I like that placement of the camera here Nicole... how you put the camera closed to the water texture so the duck and your frame looks like being on the same high... so the small focal area on the duck looks very nice! funny element the water on her nose! :-)

Nicole, You make wonderful images these days. I love the colors here. Bitte um Verzeiung but when I remember well Luxemburg does not have a beach at sea so I wonder about categorie Seascape. But then die See und das Meer are more appropiate ?
OK, no more teasing ;-) Hugs, Harry
