Super look at this duck Rob. I love this species even though I have never seen one in person. Great detail and light. I like the BG too. Well done.

Very nice. I like the out of place tertial, and of course the pink ear. Would love to hear / see one someday! Sharon

Cool bird Rob, very distinctive bill as you say.
Excellent color and light, sharp details..I especially like the bit of red I see above/behind the eye markings here.
Very well done

Nice low angle and reflection. Maybe just a little more room on the bottom.

Those are some interesting feather patterns, very unique. The low perspective and the light on this duck really make this image for me, well done.
