Photograph of Glen Velzy wading through a pond of the Sunset Gun Club and retrieving a duck he shot. Glen Velzy trudges through the water in the near distance, left-of-center. He walks towards the left and carries a duck one hand and his rifle in the other. A few ducks or decoys float in the water behind and to the right of him. An embankment of the far side of the pond stretches across the image in the distance.
