A handsome duck. The darks are well exposed and I like the pose and the angle. The whites on the wing, chest and back are totally blown.

Great low angle and comp. I agree with Phil that the whites look blown, you could go back to the raw and try to recover them.

Great capture as seen with agreement that whites need some work

This can be done very easy.

Gentlemen, Thank you very much for your corrective comments. It was a kind of ''unforced Error''. I tried to do better one.
recovered alternative attached.

Ones again, thank you very much indeed.

the second version looks amazing, maybe I would try recomposed a bit, what would you say if you try cut a bit from the bottom ( right to duck reflection) and add the same amount to the top......... beautiful species, well done!!!
