What a beautiful subject! The water is tremendous. The bird looks sharp, and the whites well exposed. There is no doubt why they are called Goldeneye! It appears that the light was coming from your right, and slightly shaded the greens on the face.

Sweet water to present this duck on. Very nice.

Lovely portrait, Karl. Love the color of the water. Your duck stands out quite nicely.

Hi Karl, super low angle, and overall, well exposed. Love the green on the head, together with the various blues of the water.

You present this duck very nice. Exposure control and the low angle works great.

Couldn't be better Karl, nice image. Thank you for sharing.

Spectacular portrait of handsome duck.Great IQ.
Love the artistic blues, beautiful golden eye,water droplets and reflection.

Regards,
Satish.

Pretty sweet Karl. Love the way he stands out against the blue water. Well done. Oh, the exposure is perfect too.
