Wood Duck Swimming Amid Lily Pads on Vietnamese Ridge

by Takeshi Brennan

Reflected light shimmers across the dark water surface where a wood duck glides through a cluster of broad green lily pads. The bird's iridescent bronze and green plumage catches the bright, diffused glow of an overcast afternoon sky. Heavy monsoon clouds stack low above the wind-scoured ridge, casting shifting gray shadows across the wet landscape. Water droplets rest on the duck's feathers, and ripples fan out from its paddling feet. The lily pads float densely, their edges slightly curled from the wind. A small patch of blue sky breaks through the cloud cover, reflecting sharply on a nearby ripple. The duck's head turns slightly, revealing the white stripe behind its eye against the wet, dark water.
