Wood Duck.
Forgive me posting too many Wood Duck images.
The truth is that I really like this colourful duck.
Besides, there isn't much around here right now.
I like the perky pose of this image.
It tells you a lot about his personality.
Thanks for looking.

Can never have too many wood duck photos, IMO! I like his pose, eye contact, nice detail. How close were you?
Saw our first Woodies of the spring a couple days ago... they flushed the minute I stopped the car (nearly 100 yrds away!).
Nice image, Karl!
These ducks are beautiful but an exposure nightmare in the sun.You did well.
The whites look good and I wonder if you could tease a bit more detail out of the blacks.
Love the perky, attentive pose with the cocked tail and raised head. I like the hint of foot visible in the water as well.
I might take a bit off the top but lovely as is.

I don't know how reliable the distance given in the exif file is, but it says; 8.3 m which would be about 25 ft give or take.
Karl, Beautiful image with nice HA and details,,,wish for even more lower angle but that is not always possible....I will never get bored to see images of this beautiful duck, so keep them coming.
Lovely image Karl
Impossibly colored quacker ! Light looks a bit harsh but handled pretty well and nice eye contact, I'd suggest crop a bit more from the top
No such thing as too many Wood Duck images.
Nice pose, exposure and colors. Comp is very nice too, but a bit off the top wouldn't hurt imo.
I'd sharpen the head just a tad more.
Keep them coming Karl.
Magnificent image with magical colors.
Love the pose,details and composition.
Regards,
Satish.
