Gadwall..

[dankearl]

Pretty bland Ducks, but I have really great water color at my pond,
so I thought a Gadwall made a nice subject to show off the water..

Nice view of this gadwall. The water on the bill is pretty neat. Like the patterns in the water.

Love the silky smooth BG, lighting and colors in this Dan (and of course the Duck is pretty good too!) TFS

Love the FG, BG, water stream off bill, EXP, SH, color and details. Might brighten the image a little. TFS

Love this, despite not being vibrant I think Gadwalls have a subtle beauty to them which you captured really well here! I think maybe increasing brightness on the right side of the frame and the bird’s head along with a bit of blue desaturation on the beak might be the only things I’d suggest.
