    I would liked to have had a little lower angle on this shot and, perhaps the head turned just a fraction more toward the camera. Cropped to remove the reeds comming up from water; only wanted the reflections.

    Lovely colours and feather details, Mark. I like the reflections of the reeds in the water. A little more space above to lower the duck in the image would be nice. If not available I would probably crop in tighter removing from left and below.

    Hey, I love this as is, ESP the chestnut feathers that are showing and the reflections. Be careful what you wish for: the lower you get the less the impact of the reflections and the more the reeds will get into the BKGR. I wish only for a tiny bit more head turn.
