    Well done with the exposure and sharpness Bill! Only needs a better head angle and a level horizon (the water is running downwards from right to left). I like the bit of habitat showing in the BG...very nice.

    Cool pose of this escapee, too bad it's flying away from you. I think it needs a bit of CW rotation.

    Agree with Axel and Daniel on HA and rotation, but otherwise fine detail in the whites and a nice pose. Well done.

    Hi Bill! You exposed the whites really well! Good job! I'm just wondering what a domestic Mallard is!? Is it just like a regular duck? Like Donald? Sorry to be so ignorant! :) Cheers!

    Hi Bill,

    I would also remove some of the noise. Keep them coming!

    Your not at all ignorant at all my friend because everyone felt the same way. Yes this is a Donald Duck that was probably blown off course or placed there by someone who couldn't care for it anymore, but he was very comfortable being with and among the mottled ducks.
