I have always felt the same as you do about Gadwalls. An attractive duck and your image shows excellent detail and a nice pose.

Hi Eduard  
The soft light help to bring out a nice even coloring, with out standing feather detail. The head turn and eye contact add a nice touch to this photograph.

Hi Eduard, love the patterns on this duck and you have captured it well. Nice sharpness and pose with the head turn.

Lovely subtle colors and patterns in the plumage, Eddie. A fine image.
