Really nice, Jerry.  I too like the background and the color of the duck. The shallow depth also works for me.

A nice clean portrait of this beauty, Jerry.  Nice reflections in the water and a good angle to show it off.

A fine portrait you have of this handsome fellow Jerry. I really like your low perspective and the water colors, the strips of blue make this one for me.

Sweet One!
