I believe this is a female (or juvenile) AMWI.
Shot a few days back when the weather was still nice and the water had nice fall reflection.
Thanks for looking.

Karl,
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you were in the same pond I was this weekend (I'll be posting my American Wigeon shortly).
The color of that water is great. I'm wondering, however, if you cloned a bit of it in around the head area. It looks like the top of the head has been affected by this. Otherwise, a lovely shot.

Very nice Karl - that water is simply awesome. Agree with Miguel about the smudge on the head...
Thanks Miguel.
First of all I noticed that I did not post the one I intended to post.
I did some cloning to get rid off some dark spots, you will se it on the second image but I did it in layers and it would not have affected the duck.
I looked at the original and it had this smudgy patch on the top of the head due to some lighting effect.
I fixed it none the less to make it look nicer.
I hope you like it.
Love the colors, the spacious comp and the perfect head turn she's giving you, Karl.
Wigeons are such beautiful ducks.
Superb image. Beautiful colorscheme. Very nice pose, lights and composition.
Regards,
Satish.
