While focusing on a male Wood Duck nearby, I noticed these big ripples coming my way. I looked up and saw this Mallard preening and the way she was positioned with the ripples was just like a ball of feathers making this perfect water movement. I took several closer shots to freeze the moment and at the same time wishing all the other ducks would swim away so I would have more negative zone to show the ripples but they never listen to the photographer....lol
