Very nice to have winter visitors! This is a well focused work... and I like the tight crop and ripples of water. (I do wish there was a bit more contrast between the lake bottom and the duck.) Nice shot.

It looks like a monochrome, but that's just the way it is. Not manipulated. Thanks for this great review.

Great colour and lighting. I have never seen a duck like this, you have done a great job of capturing him. Great composition and framing. Superb focus and DOF. Awesome image. Well done.

Comment from OLIVER23
Unusual framing in that it is much wider than long.. but that works fine in capturing this image. Love the clarity that allows the rippling to be so well detailed. Would change not a thing to this fine work! Take a bow.
