    Troy, I like the drooling water from the beak, and the water colour compliments the wigeon nicely. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.

    Troy:

    Nice colors in duck and matching background. Dribble a plus.
    I am with Stuart here re: crop. Because the reflection is distorted by ripples, it doesn't add much to the image for me. I might crop up from the bottom, just leaving the reflected bill and drops.

    Have great fun, looking forward to more.

    Cheers

    Randy
