Thought I would post a female Ruddy Duck since I had posted a couple males. The females are quite drab in comparison.Shot in local slough in Nd. Processed with Dpp 4,Photoshop and neat image noise reduction. Thanks for comments and critiques.

Nice and sharp, good colours, well balanced comp. The reflection works well despite being somewhat distorted. Although the head angle is parallel to the sensor, it would have been nice to have it a couple degrees more towards us because of the body angle. Good stuff with these Ruddy Ducks!
