A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and off-centre composition offers us an enjoyable view of your handsome duck and its location. Initially I thought it had hurt its leg! Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

a good close up Mary of this chestnut teal duck apparently not yet decided where to put his foot; he looks very similar to our male malard ducks;
sharp focus, particularly of his red eye;

Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The pose of the duck is interesting. The bird looks like it is dancing. The reflections are interesting. The duck is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful looking duck and an excellent shot of him. His red eye is fantastic looking and it compliments the color of his breast very well.

Great look at this beautiful Chestnut Teal Duck! I like how he appears to be standing on one foot. The green head reminds me of a mallard duck.

It is one moment in time and you captured it! The eyes, the foot and the shadow in the water make this a perfect photo and one that I would love to oil paint on canvas.

Nice stop action shot of this interesting duck, I especially like that iridescent green head and intriguing red eye! He is well placed within the frame, I love the lifted foot to show he is in motion, well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct , the colors and tones appear natural, I like his partial reflection on the water. Well composed and presented!
