    Lovely feather ruffle, very sharp, beautiful drake, and a great perch for a duck. Bummer on the head facing slightly away. Otherwise superb.

    Lovely details with good exposure and sharpness. Too bad on duck is facing slightly away. This image appears to need a CW rotation. The best way to to tell on this one is to match the chest up with its reflection.

    I also like the feather movement blur. Veyr nice. Details and exposure looks very good. I dont think the reflection adds a lot. If mine, I'd have cropped a little from bottom and had some more room at top. In other words, have the bird a little lower in the frame.

    Nice detail in the bird. I think I would prefer a little more room behind the bird. Water and BG look good.
