    Excellent shot of this duck, Dan. It shows great details especially in the head. Also, great showing the head shape. The water color compliments the head color very nicely.
    Well done.

    This is really a terrific image, Dan, of a fairly common subject. You have taken it to a new level with the light and the subtle water patterns front of the duck.

    A fine image taken from your 'duck submarine'. It looks like a similar problem I have with maintaining a sharp eye on a Hooded Mergie.

    Nicely done capturing the iridescence of the green and the range of blacks. Swirls in the water and the color of work nicely. Where the water meets his chest the reflection on the edge looks too pronounced.

    A fine image from this duck. Like the low angle, head pose and the beautiful colors.
