Your "Hidrohide" seems to be working very well and gives you great low angles. I also like the habitat showing here. I'm others will differ, but I like the small fluff on the bill:). Some of the whites and midtones seem bright, and I would eliminate the OOF pink flower near the subject's chin.

Ricardo:

Daniel hit the important points. Shooting angle is great. I think it is a bit tight as presented to the left. Unusual here to get so close on a shoveler.

Cheers

All has been already mentioned but love the low angle and the great eye contact in this image. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ricardo. Low angle is just killer but whites looks a bit bright in my monitor. The "alert" pose of the drake is fantastic. :)
