Works well, faithfull colours and good detail in the bill. A good job it wasn't the other one you were trying to photograph :biggrin: Perhaps a little less on the sharpening for me (?) :toast: :toast:

Really taken with this image Graham. So many of our ducks can look a bit dull at a distance and yet be really attractive when this close-up. I like this one a lot.
