Hi Dan,
I like this and am jealous - all the interesting ducks at my neighborhood lake just stay way out in the middle. Nice low shooting angle, sharpness, and background. Color tones look good to me and I like the water. Well done.

Yes, this is very nice. The bird looks great, exposure is spot on, and you (like always) have a great shooting angle. My only suggestion would be to try and tone down the brightest greens in the background a touch.

Excellent color and detail on the Widgeon. I really like the water the background and depth of field in this image.

Very, very nice, Dan. Excellent job on the exposure, nice low angle, and the focus and depth of field look spot on.
