The Penalty Box

I enjoy wandering around lakes and beach sides for the wildlife that surrounds the area. Even the most common mallard can make for a rather colourful shot. This little guy was stopping for a drink at Deer Lake Park when I snapped this photo. It was overcast that day, which made for great lighting conditions (no harsh shadows). That also meant the water was quite reflective, as you can see the duck's green head in the ripples. His legs also had the colour of Cheetos, in stark contrast to his feathered body. Mmmm...Cheetos...
