Fine shot, Jim. I like the pose and eye of the duck as well as the beautiful colors. Also, the water droplets on the duck are a nice aspect too.

What a trip you must have had. The angle doesn't bother me. Nice details.

Really nice texture on the Duck, Jim. IMO, he could use a little more room on the left and underneath.

Christmas cheers,

Carol

Very nice image of a duck I have never seen and probably will never see. I have some images that turned out really nice except fro the angle of view, because I could not get any different angle. The eye contact and the color are great.
