I've been away from ducks lately!
This guy was swimming in rough waters. First i thought it was Pochard but then I noticed the patch on top of the head. I am not sure if I should straighten it or just leave it as is. The camera was straight!
I like that little drop of water on the bill.
All comments welcome!

I like this René. You got yourself a great low angle...and the bird swimming towards you is a huge plus. I just thought the image needed to go lighter and given more "punch" so I went ahead and gave a simple Levels tweak, cropped from bottom and alightly at left to improve the composition, and lightened the reflection in the eye to liven it up. What do you think?
Hi Daniel! Yeah! I like what you did! I'll try to do the same on the original file! I might be able to do it! :) The angle, yeah! I guess I'm learning from the best. Now every time I set my camera I always look for the lowest I can, when possible.
Thanks Axel. Ducks are easier to shoot than small birds! :)
