I love it when ducks appear to be happy like this Good basic image with solid techs and processing. I hope you also got some good ones of the shoveler (a species I have never been able to get close to).
Love the deatil here Bill and the open mouth enhances the composition for me - nice one!
This one made me smile. Image evokes a happy feeling!
Good low POV and good IQ.

Wonderful image, Bill. You captured all his unique colors under this soft light. Like the low angle and IQ.

Bill, I'm not sure you could have asked for much else here. The pose here is ideal, and you nailed it with the techs and your low POV.
Good work on the cloning. Did you happen to get a shoveler photo?
A fun and interesting image Bill. I like the IQ, exposure, sharpness and composition.
