    Captured this girl right after a post mating bathing. That was something to watch, too many images to post here. Mid afternoon light, ISO 800. 1/4000, f 6.3, 5D, 400 5.6L. Thanks for any C&C.

    Very nice low angle. I wish for a little more head turn to the right. I also think there is a lot of contrast between your subject and the water

    I like the drop on the bill. Is the duck really leaning a bit or does the image need a bit or rotation? Actually, even if the duck is leaning a bit, I might try to level it out anyway.

    You have done well from where you were but way lower (if possible) would have been way better...

    I like the pose and detail, but agree that a lower perspective would have improved the image.

    Like the plumage details and the water ripples, agreed with the above comments,
