    I did not like the angle but I did like this "proud" pose given to the lady duck.
    Thanks for looking.

    I like the low angle, sharpness, detail, calm water, alert pose and BG. I would rotate the image CW. Well done Karl!

    That is a proud pose. You did well getting the camera so low. I really like the color in the upper part of the backgrund.

    The low shooting angle is great, the angle of the duck is a little off although she is well exposed and sharp. I agree with cw rotation, she looks like she is going down hill.

    Nice image, yes the proud look makes this very interesting, needs a slight CW rotation will make the bird chin up a bit too.
    Love the colors and the low shooting angle , very nicely done.

    I dont see much if any problem with the angle Karl ?...but I do like the " proud " pose as well. The low vantage point works well and the color tones look rather nice ...tiny CW rotation needed

    I agree with some CW rotation, and perhaps a bit of a crop from below too (to just above your signature). Awesome details, especially on the flanks where critical focus seems to be. You got yourself a nice low angle here Karl!

    Very lovely image, and I love the pose on the duck and how well the color of the duck works with its surroundings.

    Hi Karl, yes, she is swimming slightly away from you, but she seems 'proud' of it. Good low perspective, and I agree, a touch of CW rotation wont harm the image.
