Jim, you caught this guy in some nice light! I also like the relative calmness of the water. Nice image!

Good eye contact and I too like the light on the duck.

The light is nice, Jim; it maybe just a little bright, but that could be my monitor. I think a pano crop, including just the reflection of the body and not the head, would feel more balanced to me.

Very nice! Great low angle and light. The small version has some artifacts around the bird especially around the head and back. Large version looks good - I see one light spot near top and tip of bill that seems odd?

Thanks for your comments everyone. Jay, I see the artifacts in the small version. I don't know what caused them, or what to do about them. I can't find the spots in the large version.
