An outdoor daytime image depicts a single male mallard duck swimming in the foreground of the brown-tinted Potomac River. The duck, positioned in the lower-middle of the frame, exhibits a green head, white collar, and brown chest, facing slightly left. The river's surface displays minor ripples and scattered dark debris. Across the river, a dense line of bare deciduous trees forms a dark, undulating horizontal band in the mid-ground. Above the trees, the background reveals the distinct modern skyline of Rosslyn, Arlington, Virginia, characterized by numerous high-rise buildings with reflective glass facades. The sky above is clear and light blue. The vantage point for this image is from the Washington D.C. side of the Potomac River, looking across towards Rosslyn.
