Wow. Great colors. BG looks nice and smooth and color enhances the duck. Reflection looks great too.
Sweet portrait. I like the centered crop for this.

Beautiful image Jerry. I find these guys very difficult to expose properly except during the first and last hours of light, but this is quite nice. Not certain, but there may be a bluish cast to the bill?
