pure magic.

Lovely setting with this snoww storm which softened the shapes of the trees while the constrated duck enhances the whole image. My eyes come back and forth to the duck, then to the trees, then back to the duck again, then...

I like the pun. I saw a who gaggle standing on the ice on the Rouge River today, but there was no place to stop on Michigan Avenue to get a shot. Great photo!

Love this for the focus on the duck, but surrounded by the soft white snow. Great composition, Ralph.
