One species I really wanted to get in Australia :)

Jan, I like the chestnut colors. The water is neat. Are those leaves reflecting in the water? The blue and gold is lovely. I might smooth out the small blue area in the LLC

A beautiful image. The dreamy water adds so much to this composition. Was there post editing to accentuate the great effect of the water? The colors and detail on the duck is very good. An overall winner IMO. ;)

Way stunning. A beautiful capture of a beautiful duck. A bit of a crop from the bottom would strengthen it. Love the head angle and the detail in the green head.

[Craig Brelsford]

Inspiring. Good low angle, amazing colors on the water, handsome species.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great colours and exposure. Like that eye and DOF. Subject is pin sharp.

Awesome shot Jan! Won't change a thing - no cropping off the bottom or anywhere is needed IMO.
