To me the feathers look "wierd" and it is a little too dark. Wish I coould see more in the face. I do like the highlights and shadows in the water.

@Nick: You know on my monitor at work it looked much darker than at home...perhaps the calibration or lighting in office...

Paulo Santos from Peso da Régua, Portugal

Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States

wish i could see the eyes here but i like the composition of the image

@Nick Passantino: It is a bit darker around his eye than I hoped but it's funny though on my monitor at home I can see it pretty clear and work is much darker...lighting, calibration differences I guess.
Thanks!

I love images of ducks, I like how you have the droplet off of this fellow's beak. Really fun and I bet he was nice and cool.

@bronzebilly u.k.: I had a lucky lucky moment Billy...believe it or not.
camera set up and just as he came up...hit the trigger! LOL
They were quite calm little ducks and me being there didn't really phase tham a bit.

Nice one! I love the detail of duck feathers and the natural waterproofing they exhibit.
