Hi Keith,
Excellent! Wood Ducks are one of my favorites, beautiful colors, clarity, I really like the water and reflection as well. :smile:

Very nice image quality - sharpness, detail, exposure are spot on. I love the way the water "bends" the reflected colors.

Rich colors in the bird and in the water. Wish you were a bit lower, but this angle does show the reflection well.

Bird and water look great, Keith. Exposure and detail couldn't be better. Perhaps a lower angle...

Top notch wood duck Keith, love the detail, color and that awesome water worthy of this most handsome species. A bit lower angle was the one thing I thought could help this as well.

Very nice shot. The intense water color is a great contrast with the duck.
