The image depicts two adult male mallard ducks swimming side-by-side in a body of water located in Les Ulis, France. Both ducks are oriented with their heads pointed towards the right side of the frame. Each duck exhibits an iridescent green head, a bright yellow bill, a white neck ring, a chestnut-brown chest, grey flanks, and a black rear with prominent white outer tail feathers and distinctive curled black central tail feathers. Their orange webbed feet are partially visible beneath the water's surface, particularly for the duck positioned in the foreground. The water itself is a brownish-green color, characterized by numerous ripples and reflections of ambient light and an indistinct background. The background above the water consists of a blurred horizontal band of muted green and brown tones, consistent with distant foliage or an embankment.
