M43 Bathing in Bliss

The succinct three-part composition employs the clear contrast of cold and warm colors. The silk-surfaced, smooth water, the primitive, natural wood pattern, and the delicate, painterly lines of twigs on the upper right corner give the image a bright, fairytale-like aura and beauty with rich texture that could be viewed over and over again. The natural twigs and water ripples serve as a perfect background for the two ducks, forming an ingenious atmosphere that takes one’s breath away.
