Lovely colours on the duck and the water drops make him glisten! Very nice shot. I agree with the others about the cropping infront of him looks a little tight, would be nice if he had a bit more room there. Overall though, good work!

Mallards have wonderfull colors naturally but you truly added a boost for this shot. Great Catch!!!! I too am a big fan of nature pictures. Hope to lose to you in a challenge soon ;)

Beautiful Mallard. Great colors on him. And the water glistening on his chest just catches the light just right.

fantastic shot. The colors just pop right out at you. Very crisp and reminds me of the ducks I see on my morning walks. Nicely done!

Great profile picture of the duck. I like how his tail feathers curl a little, gives him a little distinction. I also like how his foot shows through the water, give the picture a little feeling of motion.

I love duck pics! Mallards are my favorite.

Only change would have been to crop less on either the right or left - showing either where the duck came fro or where he is heading to.

Another good duck photo. I like the water glistening off his chest. And you can never go wrong with the iridescent green neck and head. Picture does seem to be cropped a little tight to the right and top sides, maybe a little more room in the picture for the duck to have room to 'swim' in would help.
