Northern Shoveler
This may be a bit soft because of the very cloudy with no sunlight light. But to post the main thing i like about this image the water droplet and the scary eye though its very cute duck.

Mital:

Another nice one, with the low angle,good exposure, drops, good eye contact.

The softer light helped with your exposure.


Looks sharp enough for my tastes.

Cheers

I like the clean water and background -- good job

[Austin Thomas]

A good low angle and the water drops make this one.

Cheers

Lots of good stuff about this one as noted above. A bit more head turn towards you would have likely left the front of the face better lit rather than dark as it is here.... I liked the fluffed flank feathers and the green and blue wing coverts that are peeking through.

Cleaning up the few bits of fluff on the head and toning down the specular highlights on the bill would improve this.
