    Nice low angle with great wing position and eye contact. I'd probably sharpen a bit more, especially the breast.

    I like the angle, pose and BG and agree regarding more sharpening of the bird.

    Hi Manos, over here it would have the appearance of a hen Canvasback. I'm not sure but I think Europe has a similar one called a Pochard. I like the low angle and the outspred wings.

    This is a female Common Pochard Aythia ferina.
    Great pose and BG with fine low angle!

    Only improvement would be the sharpening that has already been mentioned Manos. This is an excellent capture and beautiful duck

    A proud pose, and well timed to capture the outspread wings. I agree another round of sharpening will work.

    Lovely Image, good moment captured here.
    I think its a Common Pochard too.
    In addition to Sharpening give a go to toning down the highlights in the water. I feel, the water is drawing too much attention currently.

    I also vote for another round of sharpening. very nice pose and colour here - it might also benefit from the use of a warming filter?

    I like the light and detail captured. The comp and angle is also nice.
    I think you should have pushed up the ISO so that you could close the apperture a bit to give you a bit more DOF.

    Like the pose and soft colors give the image an overall very pleasing look.

    Great pose, low angle and detail, a tad more sat and to tone down the birgt water might help IMO. Also, some more NR would be my suggestion.
    Congratulaitons Manos!
