Excellent detail and dof, Jerry, and your water is always gorgeous.

Sweet in every way Jerry. I agree with Dennis the water looks great and you got the duck right between the two white reflection streaks, well done. The sharp detail and open beak add a lot too.  devil

Wonderful portrait of this duck - another species I've struggled to get close to.  The open beak adds a nice touch

Hi Jerry,

Nice pose--I can never get ducks doing interesting things up close and isolated. Well done.................Jim
