Nice image Barbara. I like it for the same reasons that you do. The water is super and you got a good exposure on the blacks. A little hot on part of the white -I never seem to get it just right. More than worthy of more comments.

Very nice detail in this Ring-necked, Barbara. The whites on the bill may be just a tad bit hot. I would normally say that a lower perspective would be appropriate, but you would then loose that nice reflection. Nice image as posted.

The water is wonderful with the ripples and reflections. The duck is sharp. The diagonal bit of vegetation in the bg is a little distracting but theres so much to focus on other than it that I' m not sure it matters. Nicely done
