He was motoring along the canal, close to the far bank. Not long ago I posted another frame of him, with a sort of camo look to the nearby foliage. On this one I've tried a heavy blur to push the leaf-covered bank into the background. Whaddya think?

Hi Bill, extraordinary shot! The background and reflection in the water is so nice. The only thing I can suggest is to look at the transition line between water and background ... it suggests a slight CCW rotation is in order. Otherwise, composition is great :)

very colorful and excellent reflection, Bill. I really like the multicolor background.
Veri nice, reflection and color are ok.
I would like a bit more space
Love WD image, Bill! Nice little wave, and I like the position of the head.
Bill your duck blends beautifully with that smashing BG,pastel feel to the whole image which I like a lot.

This is great Bill.
I love the color palette and the POV.
Great IQ and I am OK with your heavy blur but would tweak the blur at the intersection of the water and shoreline. Just doesn't look quite right ( in the area in front of the dusk)
You have exposed this duck perfectly- whites look good, bill looks good and the light has shown off the iridescence perfectly,

Thank you all.
Yes, Gail, I had trouble with the blur at that intersection. I'll go back and take another stab at it.
I finally got back to this one, to address the intersection between water and shoreline in front of the duck. I think this is a little better, but maybe still not totally convincing.
