Mallard on the Roof

I've been attempting to shoot photos on manual setting lately. This is an example of where I failed to move the curser onto my subject resulting in everything to the right being in focus, which was only a bunch of lifeless tree branches. So I cropped out the "bad spot" and got what looks more like a watercolor.

This is a mallard, which I think most regions are familiar with. He and his girlfriend (not pictured) are actually hanging out on my neighbor's roof top. It's not too often that I see ducks on a roof top.
