Nice Wigeon Drake John. Captured the iridescence nicely at a great, low perspective.
Evenly lit in solid light. Water color is very pretty, I like the pastel effect vs the traditional darker blue.
I do see some halo effects from sharpening around the bill and chest but pretty subtle.

You are giving " Mr Duck Sump " some competition with your duck shots ... good to see !!
All works well across the board ... lovely tonal range in the subject .

Hi John, Happy New Year to you as well. Nice work, the duck looks great. Love the low POV, processing looks spot on, wonderful iridescence on the green. Thank you for sharing.
