[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking this week by the Zug lake, almost 9pm and this duck was there by the boats, not in the mood to wet his feathers.

This is a very beautiful small city, lots of photo opportunities. As it is day until past 9pm, there is always time for some shooting after work, on the way to the bars by the lake and the old town :o)

Hello,
very nice scene, a duck starting from the pear,
and the correct perspective, excellent timing
regards
Ryszard

I like the POV and the placement of elements in here. An odd shot: with the duck taking flight, it ceases to be a shot about a jetty or a marina and becomes a photograph of a duck - albeit in a very striking setting.

Looks like she's left a few feathers behind in her haste to get away from you :)
Great symmetrical perspective taken from the end of the pier with the poles leading the eye into the scene .. all the boats at the end with their blue covers... and of course the star of the show is the duck with blurred wings making its hasty exit!
I really like this one Robert! Hope Switzerland is good .. are there more people out and about this time, now that it's summer?

Sabe a diferença entre um Swiss duck and a Pequin duck? the lattest is roasted!

Ele deu bastante interesse na foto, mas não precisava chutar o coitado para ele correr na frente da lente.
Abraço,
Wellington
