Beautifully done, Bonnie. Great detail, exposure, and love the iridescence showing on his head.

[Don Lacy]

Very nice image, good work on the exposure and getting the iridescence in the head.

You are very fortunate to have such beautiful ducks over your way Bonnie. You have handled the exposure very well here holding good detail in the whites. The tones, ripples and reflections all come together to make a lovely composition!!

[Jim Poor]

Very nicely done. Gotta love that punk hair style ;)

While the image is certainly sharp enough, I wonder if Artie's technique of defining the pupil would give it a little extra.

Good use of side light, I guess in the park you had no choice of sun angle. Luckily, the bird turned the face to the light.
Nicely done, congrats!

Hi, Bonnie! Nice capture! There seems to be a decent amount of noise in the background (and part of the foreground), and I believe there is a shadow/highlight glow around your subject's head that could be removed.

Nice image, Bonnie! I like the low angle and you did well with the exposure.
