Mallard whirlpool - a photo on Flickriver

Mallard whirlpool

An autumn breeding pair of mallards dabbling in a wetland pond of Burnt Fork Creek.

South Peachtree Creek Trail
DeKalb County (North Druid Hills), Georgia, USA.
6 December 2022.

***************
▶ Photographer's note.
I used a 5:2 ratio to crop the image for a 'cinematic' look that included the edges of the 'whirlpool' the mallards were creating. I rather like the look.
