    Dan,
    This is beautiful. The IQ and feather detail is excellent.This image gives a real sense of how small these ducks are. You have a beautiful complimentary BG as well. I would crop some off the bottom and add the same amount up top if you can to maintain the vertical feel of the image. As always the water droplets add that special feel. A real keeper,
    Gail
    I would also clone out the highlight on the bill tip

    Lovely image with nice details and background. Agree about cloning some off the bottom. Nice behavioral shot. Well done.

    Good detail and pose. I really like the reflected color in the water. Nice shooting angle.

    Nice timing on capturing the standing wing flap. Colors and detail look good. Since the reflection is not complete, I'd crop at about the reflected neck line to remove the bowling pin shaped reflection.

    Great Bufflehead image! Love the cuteness factor and the nice and dry head. The water colors are also fantastic!
