I like the green reeds and especially their reflections, the water and the sharpness of the duck in this image. All feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Great detail and I agree, the water with the reed reflections works very well Barbara.
Good job on this tough exposure, with the light area under the head a minor nit.
Well done

Really like the reflections of the reeds and the pose of the duck, very rich colors, nicely done!

Your duck and my duck oughta meet :) I like this habitat shot and the relaxed look of the duck. Whites at sidepocket are a tad hot, but should be easily fixed if you shot it in raw. Sharon

A very nice habitat image and I also like the reed reflections, the duck detail looks good along with composition, a very fine image, way to go.
