Wonderful detail you’ve gotten in this duck Dan. The water droplets and ripples are perfect. Love the movement and color in the water also. Great image.

Beautiful, Dan. A great low angle and amazing to get a truly wild one so close.

Lovely photo. Nice complimentary colors and the bow wave is a very nice touch. good for you to get so close.

Very nice low view with great detail, light and setting.

Nice species and amazing you got that close. Great to have a view at the serrated bill. Cheers, Hans

Superb point of view, water color mirroring the plumage color. Perhaps a tad of blue cast in some of the white highlights of the water.
