    Beautiful shot. Very nice background colors.

    You can to one down the whites but everything else looks good

    The duck looks super I like the iridescence on the head and the water/background look amazing, I would have been delighted to have gotten a shot like this!

    Looks great to my eye. Love the low POV and the BG really makes him pop.

    Another beauty Dan. Great low angle, colors, details, HA and composition. Looks like you are getting better light out there shooting at ISO 250.

    Just want to say I really like this canvas and enjoy the way you've captured iridescence recently Dan.

    Well you get your money's worth out of your local duck ponds. Love how the water melts into background. Nice green color as well.

    Dan:

    Lovely frame, anchored by your low perspective. Might consider softening the dark area in front of the head just a bit, but just personal taste, I want to keep my attention focused on the duck!
