This is quite a lovely image. It's nice to see a duck image that's not over water for a change. You had lovely light, and I like the pose and environment.

Agree with Marina
The eye has a funny color. Is this the goldeneye duck?! :)

[Robert Kimbrell]

Super image, like the warm colors, a beautiful pose, and attractive background.

[David Salem]

Very nice frame with good colors, nice light and some good looking natural habitat. Well done

Not a Goldeneye- wish I could get that close to one of those - just a Mallard. I think that the colour may just be the way the light is striking the eye.
