You've had some great success with the diving ducks Bonnie! The whites look good, enough details in the blacks, and nice eye contact.
Nice capture or the iridescence on the head. The colors look a little washed out to me and it seems to need a slight CCW rotation (~1 degree or so). Here's a version of what I'm seeing in my mind's eye for this shot (sorry about trimming your name off - that was unintentional)
Second post works but the colors are a little off as the blues are over saturated. I do like the low angle and water details.
Beautiful capture Bonnie with a very nice pose .and of course the low angle. How fortunate to be able to photograph these little beautiues. thanks for sharing.
Nice image, and Leroy's excellent re-post reflected my thoughts exactly. Thanks Leroy!
and later and love, artie
