The scene, captured from an overhead perspective, depicts a male Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) standing on a natural ground surface in Zakopane, Poland. The duck is positioned slightly to the right of the image center, with its body oriented generally towards the upper right and its head turned to face upwards towards the camera's vantage point. It exhibits a distinct iridescent dark green head, a prominent bright yellow-orange bill, a reddish-brown chest, and gray and white body plumage. Its orange webbed feet are visible on the ground. The immediate environment consists of patchy, light green grass, areas of exposed dark brown soil, and scattered dry, brown deciduous leaves. Several small, irregular white crystalline patches, consistent with frost or residual snow, are distributed across the ground. In the upper right quadrant of the image, a large, irregular stone or rock formation is prominently featured, densely covered with vibrant green moss. No other subjects or interactions are present.
