i dont know if they are a hybrid or not, but they sure are ugly!!! we have them in florida too. i call them chucks! chicken ducks. tack sharp, bill!! exposure looks good too. only thing i could say is if he had turned his head towards you just a bit it would be absolutely perfect! i may trim a little off the right also but not much.

Bill, nice composition. Agree with Harold as far as the head just need it to be turned a bit more towards you.
Non the less a very nice shot.
congrats.

....that is no hybrid its a full blooded Muscovy duck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree with the little bit turn of the head Will eliminate the shadows around the eyes and render the bill tip sharper Would also crop form the back !!!! Very nice portrait !!!!!

Will,
very nice composition, razor sharp, and good detail, love the soft earth tone background, wich complements your subject...:D My only beef is he needed to look at you just a wee bit more...:confused:

Outside of that, I really like it

Congrats...:D
