Perfect shot!! I was looking at the photo and imagining what could be the ducks discussing? Maybe ‘Let’s act cool, as if we don’t know, for a candid shot!’ 😅
The circle of ripples with the ducks in the center is as if it is showcasing them. Beautiful colours reflected. In this case I like the colour photo better. Quite often the b/w shows up patterns better, but in this case, the colours of the reflected trees and the colour of the bottom of the shallow water are a big part of the charm. And of course the ducks look like they are in prime plumage.

Like these but prefer the colour version as the green of the grasses seem to enhance the green on the head of the male mallard

I appreciate your comment, Anneli.
It was tempting to crop in closer to highlight the ducks but the environment really made the photograph.
