Another image from that cooperative bird. I've got to find a faster way to PP. Hope you like it...

Great (uncommon) pose, details and light. I find the broken branches a bit distracting. Calm water adds a lot here

[Iain Barker]

Nice image which adds interest to a common bird. Love the low angle.

What a fun pose you captured here. I am still seeing some green/yellowish cast under the wings or is this their normal color? The duck might be a bit too centered for my taste. I might consider a tad off of the left and bottom to move him to the left a little.

I like the low POV, the light and the funny pose.

For me it is also to centered, but as your signature is cropped I don't know if I'm seeing the all picture.

I think it is a really pleasing image I like the behavioural aspect, I think lowering the brightness a little and a tiny bit more contrast helps very much.

Hi Enrique, great low angle and you have captured a fun pose. I really like the soft light in this, sharp, and how the calm FG water blends into the BG so well. I agree to move him back to the left a bit, and although the reeds on the right are there, I think we all know that having a clean area there would take this over the top.

Excellent light, details and bg.
