Love the contrast between the male and female. The light is nice and the detail shows well in the larger image. The only thing I could wish for is to blur out the BG a fair bit more.

Two ducks, both in focus. That is very hard to do. Believe me, I have scores of images with one bird sharp and the other not so much. My only nit is the background. It is not the best, but you take what you are offered. Nice capture.

Excellent dof to get both the rear duck reasonable sharp, Bob. They make a really nice pair.

Agree with what has already been said. Beautiful birds, nice poses, nice lighting. Background is so-so. Drake very sharp and hen somewhat sharp.
