    Lovely portrait, Karl. Great colors and details. Love seeing the beads of water on the duck's head. I am seeing a lot of feather details on the white portion on the head but not as much on the body. I wonder if that's b/c of the way the light is hitting the subject.

    Lovely colors, nice light and head angle. Love the drops. I noticed the same as Marina about the back. I don't know if a touch of selective sharpening would help; but it the detail's not there, it's not there.

    Hi Karl, lovely low shooting angle, and the light has brought out the colours on the head so well. Just enough space around the duck, and I really like the droplets on the head, and that they haven't fallen off due to the slope.
