That duck looks so far away from its family and any sort of duck civilization. The looming clouds are probably worrying the poor thing.

Great framing. Were you on a boat when this was taken?

@Stapczynski: No, I was in the middle of a pier that jutted out rather far into the lake. I wish I was on a boat though.
