Love the comp Rob. Really nice look at this duck species I have not had a chance to really scrutinize in the past. Green foliage in the FG adds to this shot IMO, with a nice BG and soft light on the bird. Well done.

Rob, I like the greenery in the front. The photo is sharp and crisp. No nits from me. Great capture! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful portrait, Rob. Normally I would have an issue with the foliage in front, but it really works well here. Nice image.

Rob, nice portrait of a species I'm not familiar with. I like the green background as well as the shrubs in front.

An unusual profile on this duck. It reminds me a little or eiders.
