There are two ducks in the image. One duck is standing and the other is resting on the ground. The standing duck has black and white plumage with an iridescent green patch on its head. The resting duck has darker plumage with a white underside and a similar iridescent spot on its head. The background shows green grass and a patch of earth, with a soft, pale sky. The resting duck is on the left and the standing duck is on the right.
