The image is a black and white photograph of a duck's head and neck. The duck appears to be in profile, with its head facing towards the right side of the image. The background is completely black, making the duck's face and neck the focal point of the photograph. The photo is taken from a low angle, so the duck is the only source of light in the image, making it stand out against the dark background. The bird's head is slightly tilted to the left, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take a bite out of something. Its eyes are dark and alert, and it seems to be looking off into the distance.
