The ducks are beginning to trickle in, coming back to Florida for the winter. I captured this image at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

These guys are definitely not as handsome at this time of year!
I like the iridescence that you have shown on the wings.
I also like the placement of the duck within the frame.
I might be tempted to clone out that last reflection near the bottom of the frame.
Nice HA and whites on the face and neck look good!

Very nice, Joe. Great detail and I love the iridescence. Good HA as well. You might consider a pano crop to get rid of the lowest piece of reflection. Nice shot overall.
Perfect head angle and nice iridescence.
I'd take some off the bottom as there is more room below the bird than above.
with love, artie
Nice capture of this duck. The bird looks pretty high in the frame. Nice pose on the bird.
