The whites are rather hot which has spoilt for me an otherwise nice shot, although saying that, I would also have liked a little more separation around the head from the B.G.
Like so many of our commoner species much over looked.

Nice capture Billy but I have to agree with Ray's comments
A nice shot of a common bird Billy,the green background works and I love the yellow leaves floating down matching the ducks beak,well done!!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give the processing another shot. As to more seperation from the bg, I feel I would have lost the yellow leaves - so I went for this higher point of view.
Thanks for the comments!
