A fine shot Dan full of action and well focused. Have you been using Nik filters or similar, I wonder if I see a little masking errors on the lower edge of the left wing?
The shallow DOF shows the duck beautifully against the grey water.
Love the bird but not so crazy about the BG.
The white on the wing is soooo hard to control. It requires significant underexposing of the rest of the bird.
In my own experience, that rarely results in a good image so I think this is pretty good!

Pretty much perfect. Killer wing position. Good catch by Jon of the dark small triangle between p-5 and p-6 (I think)...
