A beautiful and perky little lady. I really like the pose and the detail is wonderful. The background matching colors work very well. Nice job, Jerry. Chet

Beautiful, Jerry.
I liked the droplets of water on the body of the bird.

Wood ducks are neat to watch. You've caught this female posed nicely in a very complementary color setting. I especially like the water drops on her belly that show so nicely in the larger view and where you've got her in the frame.

Great wing position on this stretching woodie. I like how the color of the bird matches so nicely with the water. Love wood ducks!

Excellent shot Jerry, this is one of those that you have to see the larger version to appreciate it. Wonderful feather detail and pose, the larger image was a pleasure to view.
