Nice duck and preening pose. Maybe it needs a little clockwise rotation. I'd intent to get more details out of the white. TFS.

The light is a little bit harsh but nice image of a preening duck none the less, Bill.

Excellent image, Bill Sir.
Very nice preening pose, beautiful clors and very nice composition.

Beautiful duck, nicely shown. I like the soft color of the background and duck. If mine I would to open the dark on the tail on my monitor it appears to be blocked. I think there is some detail hiding in those dark tones. Thank you for sharing, Bill.
