Wow, that's beautiful Rick. The golden color of the water, and the perfect reflection of the duck make this a wonderful image.

Love the reflection and that golden water. There is good detail in the blacks, hard to get with this species. The only i provident might have been a lower angle, but that may not have been possible. Well done.

Hey Rick,
This is sweet and I'm loving the water. Excellent exposure and detail on the subject with a great look at that eye. I too thought a lower POV would be nice as a first reaction but then you would not of had that outstanding mirror-like reflection that this POV offers. Man !
