Northern Pintail (not so close)
Probably they are new visitor for season and so they are yet to give best close shots :)

Pintails are my favorite ducks and you have a nice capture here , while a little bit more of a head turn would have been nice since it is parallel its not a real minus for me. I would be tempted to crop a bit from the bottom and left to make the duck a little larger in the frame.

Nice profile image. Nice low angle and clean surroudings. I agree to making the duck larger in the frame. I also wish for a better hue to the water's colour - here I masked off the subject (except for bill) and applied the "Cooling filter (80)" at 20%.
nice capture. Daniel's version is making it pop even more. well done.
Mital, nice low angle, exposure and sharpness. Playing with the blue hue will certainly help...and am sure you will get some shots from close range :-)
