I saw this in your collage that you posted today of some of your favorites of the year after hitting 1000 photos. I did not remember this one though missed so many and wanted to see this one better. This is such a great shot of this Mandarin Duck. Love the detail you captured. I have a few Mandarin Ducks in my project this year but none with so much detail. Love the bed of daisies under this duck. FAV
