This is great! The duck is so beautiful I dont think it mattered what the water looked like. But well done on the shot with the waves making this duck move I bet. Great focus, with him moving his wings we get to see all the colours this mallard has. Beautifully executed.

Lovely photo of this beautiful duck emerging from the water. Great picture clarity in showing the brightly colored head and feathers. Very good color harmony with the water surface, which has very nice highlights. Well done.

A cyber 6 for this one! A stunning photo in every way! Your initial capture of the action is focused clearly and your colors are beautiful. The ripples in the water are a perfect effect. Your post processing is the clincher though. I think you have created a framer here..a work of art! Nice work!

Fabulous looking Mallard - It is the pose of course that is so grand, showing all of his colors in a very pleasing way. The focus solid with fine feathery detail. I think the colors of the water background are the perfect support. Thanks for sharing.
