I thought this Tufted Duck gave me a scary pose :S3: yesterday evening at the local loch . The white spots are the remains of a snow storm

Thanks for looking and for all the comments on my Robin. Much appreciated

Great pose.
I would crop out the log on the RHS. I don't think it adds anything to the image.
I think a square crop with the duck nicely centered would really focus the viewer eye onto the duck.
I would also try to lift the shadows a bit.
I like the snowflakes and the bit of iridescence on the primaries.

Unusual shot and I like it. Good detail on the plumage.

Gail echoed my thoughts completely. Nice looking repost. Well done William.
