Just a pair of these hang out around a lake close by (Lake Davis, Orlando). I believe this is the male of the pair. Love the colors on this duck though.

Don't know my ducks, but this guy sure is unusual and colorful. Only suggestion would be to tone down the few bright highlights in the background.

That is quite a face with rich red coloration. I like portraits and I think this would be improved if you placed the eye differently, paying attention to the rule of thirds, and also giving the duck some room to look out of the frame. Very nice details and I like the glassiness of the eye. Sharon

Duck hybridism: fear it. Nice shot, Addison.
