Three ducks are swimming in a pond or lake on a sunny day. In the foreground, a male mallard duck with a vibrant green head, a white neck ring, a chestnut brown chest, and a grey body is swimming, with its reflection clearly visible in the water. Behind it, two other ducks, one white and one light brown, are also in the water. The white duck is actively preening its feathers, with its head turned towards its back. The water is a deep green color with visible ripples and reflections of the sky and surrounding environment. Some green vegetation, possibly reeds or grass, can be seen along the edges of the water in the frame.
