Great pose and title. Love that tail with the eye just above and of course the details and colors. Wish for a slight more details in the shadows. Th water is good but not as stellar as the subject (but it is what it is). Framing is spot on for me. TFS
ps
The pose alone takes this over the top for me...
The pose is great, nice feather detail, effective framing.
Bit of noise in the BG,more noticeable in the upper 1/3 of the frame.
Did you have to do some work on the background just above the back of the duck?
