    Very nice Dan. I really like the light, pose, feather detail and the HA on this pretty buffy. The blue color of the water is great and showcases the duck well. Good job.

    Beautiful work ,the duck itself looks spot on with great detail and feathers that look really true to life, blue water icing on the cake.

    Gorgeous, I echo the comments of others. Your image teaches me I must work to get a lower angle.

    You nailed it. The water droplets on the head & the tail in the water are a nice touch. TFS.

    Hi Dan, nice work, good detail and control of the B&W's. The water is a nice 'graphic' element and that for me makes it stand out. The loss of the reflection isn't important for me, as it's all about the subject.
    Nice one.

    TFS
