I managed to get a little closer to these guys. I hid in the long grass next to the shoreline and let them come to me. I really like the water color. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. The exposure is perfect, the yellow eye is captivating and the warm tones on the water are so complimentary.

Nice job going under cover Jerry. I like the low pov and the water color looks quite pleasing. That eye pops well and the details in the duck look sharp too. Great work!

Great image, Jerry.
I liked the colors in the water, and the position of the bird
