The male mallard shows a glossy green head, white neck ring, chestnut breast, and gray-brown body as soft sunlight highlights every feather. The water surface is a tranquil mosaic of blues with gentle ripples and sparkling reflections from the sky and surrounding reeds. The edge of the frame features tall grasses while a distant, softly blurred treeline suggests a serene lakeside setting; overall mood is calm, quiet, and natural, capturing nature's tranquility.
