The Only Duck Standing, by Gino Franco Velasco

I went for a walk in the afternoon at the lake of Pikku-Vesijärvi after visiting a cat show. While I was searching for some more interesting to capture this winter, I end up observing a group of ducks and then wondered how they survive in a freezing cold day like that day (January 20, 2013). Since it was a very cold late afternoon and I didn’t have the proper attire to stay out that long, I only stayed less than 10 minutes. By the time I was about to leave, I saw this moment. I quickly grabbed my camera, crouched and then took the shot.
