Another sweet duck Simon. Great exposure and light. Love the low angle and the water. Great sharpness and detail on the bird. I can tell this is a very small crop from the wonderful detail. Very well done.

Great job Simon. So sharp! Maybe a pinch more room at the bottom for the reflection.

Nice low angle and I really like that green in the background. Maybe just a little more room on the bottom.
