    One of the regular visitors to the wetland. The male has gorgeous yellow eyes, feet and the green patch in the wings. I was very happy to catch this one taking off. I'd like to know what you think, thanks!

    Great moment captured. I like the pose, light and splash. Maybe a bit CW rotation.

    This is wonderful!! I may add that the expression on the ducks face makes it even better. He looks radiant!

    This is really good. The splash, wing position calm water and composition is all excellent. I would like to see it a bit bigger though.... Perfect shot!

    Way sweet. Love the inclusion of the whole splash. The greens in the speculum look a bit over-SATed. Looks a lot like our shoveler without the shovel.
