Muscovy ducks are not my favorite, but regardless of species a good water landing is appreciated!

Really bummed about my buddy Dave. He will be missed.

Very nice composition, Bill. I like how you framed the duck with trailing wake. Nice reflection.

Bill, The pale blue water is gorgeous as is the reflection! I love the landing pose. The water splashes are just wonderful. Really nice use of the filter. I can only suggest trying to get the eyes to stand out a bit more-but that is being really picky. Excellent!
