Lovely colours on the ice and just held the detail on the chest. Composition spot on for my liking. Top image.

An excellent capture/portrait.

Difficult to get a duck shot with a difference and this does it superbly. Nice one.

A very good shot and just that bit different too :toast: I really like the similarity of the colours in the head and the reflection in the water.

Have to agree with what has been said, what a superb image. I'm enjoying all about it and especially like the amount of detail you have gathered including the droplets on the breast feathers.. Very nice..!
