Green-winged Teal, male

Gorgeous reflections in the water, May, and I really like how the finer textures in the water mimic the feather structure on the Teal's back (or vice versa).  For some reason the eye and the water droplets don't seem to pop the way I would expect in this image.  I've had that issue with some duck images and I'm not sure what causes it as it looks sharp enough otherwise.

I agree with Dennis at the reflection is very nice. You have very warm colors in the picture which is a real advantage for those folks who get up really early.  It really pays off the quality of the light on this duck. The duck is very sharp and the surroundings are soft and warm. Well done and I like it.

I like the overall color palette of this.  The warm light of the morning sun really compliments the bird's coloring.  Focus looks spot-on.  These birds have an eye color that is almost the same tonal value as the head coloring which makes them disappear.  Perhaps lightening the eye would separate it and make it more distinct.  Also, low-level light hitting a flat surface (such as the bird's head) doesn't create the shadow edges that would enhance the eye and water droplets.  All of this aside, I think is is a very nice image with a lovely overall look.

I really like the light and water colors in the image, May. Nice capture of one of our more colorful ducks.

It's a keeper in my book May!  A great subject in sweet light, nice colors throughout and very sharp.

A sweet portrait!!!
