16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Thinking duck

This day, it was early in the morning and my boyfriend and I decided to go have breakfast-picnic aside a channel close by to our home as it was a sunny day (which in Northern Germany is a special thing). I took my camera with me because I though about staying there playing with it after breakfast as I am just learning photography. There were many ducks around and while I was actually busy shooting a duck mom with her four little babies in front of me, I turned my head to the right and saw these guys aside me so I started photographing them while I was playing with the white balance and aperture. However I was not aware of this shot until later in the evening when I was checking out all the photos I had taken and it amazed me how perfect the light just hit on the thinking face of this little friend here.
