This is a great close up of the duck. It looks as though he's smiling a little bit. The sparkle in his eye is good and so are the colors. Nicely done. :)

Outstanding image. You have captured his personality. I love the drops of water on his face, the glosssy shine on his beak, the great details. He looks as though he is flirting with you.

I think this is an excellent shot. Very good composition, use of light & depth of field.

The colours are nice too. The amount of detail you can see is really good.

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Great shot. I wish I had access to geese and ducks. Very nice detail. His beak almost looks plastic. Great catch of the water drops. Fantastic! Great presentation, thanks for sharing.

Very nice duck photo with good color and a great pose. There is little if any detail in the whites and they are what we call "burnt out". Sometimes that is caused by too much contrast or an overexposed photo. Suggest you lower the contrast a little but brighten the photo a little to give a little more detail in the shadow side of the duck's head. usually wildlife looks a lot better if you can see the highlights in their eyes. Background is distracting and this is when you need to shoot with the largest f stop available and that should blur the background enough to not be distracting. Nice pose but you can help it a lot with some photoshop or post processing work. Thanks for sharing.
