Another beauty from your time here.
You have wonderful still water, great light, excellent POV and good IQ.
Good HA and exposure perfect.
Only thing I would do is clone out the lowest linear specular highlight in the water,

John you have a veritable library of superb duck images, this is another beauty, I wouldn't change a thing.

Hi John, each of your images from your series is different. Excellent exposure, sharp, and love the droplets on the head. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom. Congrats on another fine image.

I agree, this is another lovely image....Beautiful colours throughout, great pose and detail. Well done

This place is a goldmine, and this is another excellent image. It's nice to see the female getting for lens time! Perfect angle, colors, and details, like the others.

Another beauty all around, although I agree with Gail about that specular highlight.
