Beautiful! I just love the composition, reflection, and mallard and his trail,

BRAVO!

I've faved it and given it the BRAVO comment.... it is now eligible for The Best: BRAVO group - and it sure deserves to be there.

Now that I remember why I came here, have a great time in the Yellowstone, Tetons, and Glacier. Take lots of storage for photos. You will need it. Yellowstone and the Tetons are the parks we keep going to to. There is none better. Take a look at my Yellowstone/Teton set for things to watch for.

Glacier is a great park. We enjoyed a lot of the trail in the Many Glaciers area. The other trail we really liked is the one above Going To The Sun Road.

Mark Tranchant says:

Excellent. This shot would be dull without the duck, and ordinary without the scenery. The combination is great: you start by looking at the landscape, which isn't anything particularly special, but before your brain has had time to realize it, it has been distracted by the comical intruder at the bottom.

Thanks for sharing this one!

Thanks everyone for your comments, visits and faves. I thought this was a special shot, though I didn't expect this level of response. To have so many people respond to it favorably is certainly very flattering and yet humbling at the same time. Thanks again! You all rock!

Robby Edwards says:

Dean, great eye. It was sunrise. I had actually planned to get to Lily Lake before sunrise to scout out some locations for capturing the sunrise on the lake, but due to laziness on my part (I didn't get out of bed early enough, though in my defense I was still recovering from a cold I'd had all week), and then I took a wrong turn and by the time I'd gotten turned around and made it to the lake the sunrise had already happened. As I was getting out of my car and (figuratively) kicking myself for arriving late, I walked up to the lake and this was the scene which presented itself. So in the end, my late arrival was very fortuitous.
