A photograph of an elegant black-bellied whistling duck standing on the edge of water, with a vibrant red bill and dark brown body with a white face, a green grassy bank in the foreground, small ripples visible on the pond’s surface, soft natural light casting gentle shadows, creating a serene nature scene. Taken with a Canon EOS R5 camera, with an f/4 aperture setting for depth of field, ISO adjusted from to capture details, in bright daylight lighting, in the style of a nature photographer. –ar 128:85
