Daffy Duck? This is the weirdest photo I have taken.

I was photographing foggy mountains over a Colorado lake and happened upon a single duck. The sun was setting which caused a nice shadow of the duck. It was later when I previewed my shot that I noticed that something was very wrong about his shadow! The photo was not as sharp as I would like, but it is exactly as the camera recorded in jpg (I also have it in RAW). No processing by a practical joker!
What do you think caused this abberation? I really don't know.
Second photo is one of the foggy mountains.
Disregard "download attached file" - my bad - these were RAW!

My guess is it's just the way the ripples are reflecting the sky.

Your guess is much better than mine! Thanks! It still is uncanny how it created an eye!

I'd blame it on Satan. Isn't a three headed Duck a sign of the End Times?

its the waves
So the waves created a light spot where an eye normally would be? How? Thanks!

Just the duck being reflected off a multiform curved surface, like fun-house mirrors. And this is how it came out just as you clicked the shutter.

As BassmanBruce said, the shadow is the result of the combination of the duck, the sky, and the action of the water. When water is moving, the reflection isn't mirrorlike.
