I captured this image at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida this morning. This duck in native to tropical America (Mexico to Argentina) but there is a feral population established in Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

That is a perfect "full" wing stretch pose you got here! Nice details, colours, body/head angle. Well done with the exposure. I'd prefer more room above, and a little less below.
I've not considered the Muscovy Duck a worthy subject until I saw this image. I'll be looking for them this winter! Beautiful colors, great wing position, sharp, great head angle.
