Nice duck shot, low angle and the drops of water falling from the bill. It's always wise to look over the whole gang of ducks to see who is there.

Redheads are such beautiful ducks - dripping water is a nice touch.

I also like the dripping water from the bill,...my only nit is it looks like it needs a touch more contrast...but that is really more of just my personal taste.

Nice portrait of the beautiful Red Head Eric, love the water on the end of the bill and that great eye. I wonder what would happen if you darkened the BG a bit? It might give this guy a little more pop - just a thought, because I like it just as it is.

Nice angle, great colors, nice detail and complimentary BG.
The water drips are a nice plus!

A fine shot of a handsome species. My only suggestion would be to crop the top third of the background out. But it's a great duck shot as posted.

nice, Eric--I like the water coming off the bill and that great orange eye. I agree with Jim that you could take a little off the top.

Really nice shot of this guy, and the dripping water certainly adds to the shot. I too would probably crop a bit more off the top.

Nicely done Eric, for the reasons already mentioned. A very handsome duck, presented well.

Killer, Diller. (I just made that up). Nice low angle and good detail. I'd increase the mid-tones just a bit.
