Dan:

Soft light gave you saturated colors, soft shadows. Nice cheek patch. Good shooting angle, open bill, head angle.

A bit tight to right. The birds left side of the breast has a magenta case.

Did you need to apply any noise reduction to the bird?

He certainly fits the theme.

Cheers

Nice calling pose and it sure is a colorful BG. The details in the green head look great. Well done

I like the low angle and the colors, beautiful BG. it's just a bit too tight on the left. great details and handling of high ISO as well, it's a good example to show folks should not be afraid of using high ISO at all.

I love the calling pose, it makes him look so happy - and your title made me laugh as soon as I saw the duck's face! Good colours throughout. I agree the composition is rather tight at right.

Excellent image Dan! I like the details, IQ, pose and BG. What is the causing the different color in the BG on our left?

Excellent image of handsome one with wonderful colours and details. Very sweet BG and nice composition.
