A group of mallard ducks swim in calm, overcast water. Four ducks are visible in the foreground and mid-ground. One duck is on the far left, facing right. Two ducks are in the center, one facing right and the other facing away from the camera, preening. A fourth duck is in the mid-ground on the right, also facing away from the camera. Two more ducks are in the background, further to the right. The water is a muted gray-blue, and the sky is overcast.
