I'm coming across more waterfowl images than there are days left in the month. Here's one from a small park in Tucson on a drizzly morning this spring.

D7000, 500f4, ISO 1000, 1/320s @ f/7.1 manual.

Nice image, love the water droplets on the duck, Bill. Shooting angle is pretty good.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Good one, Bill. These are great looking ducks, and you created an excellent image under the conditions, which in fact were beneficial. Like the water color and the droplets. Great shading on the ducks face.

Nice texture to the head's feathers. I love the turquoise water against the body. Good colours on the subject too. If mine I'd either remove or crop above the lowest detached part of the reflection.

[Robert Kimbrell]

A good image Bill. Excellent colors here, Very nice details in the head, and I like the clarity of the water. I might crop as suggested by Daniel.

[Bill Dix]

Thanks guys. Here's a slightly tighter crop, leaving the same 16:9 ratio but removing the lowest reflection.

Prefer the repost Bill, those conditions that you had certainly worked for you, water droplets just tops it off.
