This looks good to me. Nice head turn and tail position and I think you handled the exposure well. Really like the water colors.

The large photo shows nice detail in the Merganser. Good pose and framing of the shot. I also like the pattern and texture of the water. I can see this one hanging on the wall.

Great image of this little fellow Scott. Your exposure is great, showing the dark and white feather details. The clean reflection and the uplifted tail feathers make the image for me.

Larger version looks very nice. I like the silky water and you have him positioned perfectly in the frame.

This is certainly a hard duo to expose properly and you did a nice job of it Scott. I like the reflection in this shot also.
