She's gorgeous as well as this image Dan. Love that we can see her shadow details. Green reflected in water compliments her plumage color perfectly.

Maybe just a a tad large in the frame but I am digging the green surroundings and excellent details on the plumage.

P.S. edited the title for you...

Gorgeous image, beautiful bird. I am liking very much the low angle in your ducks (not to self... get lower for a better angle). Thank you for sharing.

[Raybel Robles]

Great image and very sharp :)

[Karl Egressy]

Another excellent shot if this Duck species, Dan. Details and sharpness are outstanding.

Hi Dan,
The IQ on this image is absolutely stunning.
I think this is beautiful. I can't find a single thing I would change.

Man She's Beautiful! Excellent POV & IQ, detail is wonderful and really like the Golden eye and the green reflections. I agree it's maybe a little tight, very nice.
