    Pretty well executed. One section of the neck looks a little bright. I like the pose and background.

    Perfect shot Alan.
    Excellent DOF, comp and soft light.

    A beautiful duck and perfect DOF and exposure. I wish only items that the stalk of grass growing out of his head were not there and the that some of the OOF water at the bottom were cropped although that might affect the balance of the image.

    Great light, setting, details, exposure control and angle. Does it need a tad CW rotation? Thanks for sharing!

    Nice colors and comp. I too would do away with the grass coming out of his head....it is the first thing I noticed when I opened the picture.
