Atop the frozen river, a photo from Thessaloniki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

A capture I'd made 8 years ago in Thessaloniki on a very cold day.
Taken from a bridge, this lonesome duck didn't know how to walk atop the ice.

Happy weekend to all my TE friends.

Hello Mesut,
I think Nordic ducks are more used to snow and ice and have learned how to walk on a frozen lake. ;-) I like this photo from straight above. This angle makes us see things in a different way. The yellow leaves stuck in the ice form a nice pattern and there is a fine contrast between the part covered with snow and the darker area of clear ice.
Kind regards,
Gert

Merhaba Mesut,

It is very different to view a duck from above and was made possible by your elevated viewpoint. We can appreciate the iridescent colours of the feathers on its back and notice how its tail fans out.
The difference between the icy surface with or without snow is well captured and very plain to see!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Mesut,

The duck is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the duck. It is clear and sharp. Have a nice day.
