    Hi Graig, nice to see you posting this side

    Subject is sharp and well exposed with good detail Like the reflection. Looks if it were taken in the shade near the hide. Conditions well handled. Keep them coming

    Interesting head on from the front shot, I would have preferred a crop just below the head in the reflection elminating what looks like a green leaf.

    Thanks for your comments Nico, Karl and Art.... Looking forward improving my Avian photo's on this site, good and harsh crits all add up to, hopefully, better photo's.
    I was in two minds to use a differnet crop, ditto the green leaf in the lower part of the image.

    Hey Craig, neat duck...I love the red eye! Good incoming pose and I like the raised bill. I also dig the rippling water above. I too would like to see the leaf cropped out, and I would look into eliminating the bluish cast on the subject. Very sharp as posted.
